[R-SIG-Mac] problem installing rjags package

Michael,

I do have some experience of using MKL with JAGS and left quite
detailed instructions, for Linux, in the installation manual (section 1.3.5).

In addition to the problems noted by Brian there seem to be anomalies
with your MKL configuration:
- You are compiling with GNU compilers but trying to use the Intel
  64-bit interface layer. This will not work.
- You are using the sequential MKL library but still linking to
  libpthread, which is redundant.

As noted in the manual, on Linux I have been unable to link JAGS with
the MKL using GNU compilers, except by building a static version, which
is obviously not helpful if you want to interface to R.

To be honest, BLAS/LAPACK performance is not a bottleneck for JAGS unless
perhaps, you have a very special problem.  All of this effort to link
to MKL will probably not pay off and binary packages of both JAGS and rjags
are available and which do actually work.
