[R-SIG-Mac] problem installing rjags package

Note your link line has no reference to -ljags.  Mine is (for i386, 
x86_64 is later on in the output)

g++ -arch i386 -dynamiclib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -undefined 
dynamic_lookup -single_module -multiply_defined suppress 
-L/usr/local/lib -o rjags.so jags.o -L/usr/local/lib -ljags 
-F/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/.. -framework R -Wl,-framework 
-Wl,CoreFoundation

with no reference to -lgsl.  Also, have you perhaps excluded 
/usr/local/lib (the usual place to install JAGS) from the R library 
paths?

Have you contacted the maintainer?  Although not a Mac user he is very 
knowledgable, including about MKL.
