It's also important to match the version of OSX to the JAGS version. If you are one of the laggards in adopting Mavericks, as am I, then it's not immediately obvious where to find the SnowLeopard version.

The default Mavericks version that pops up with this SourceForge link does not work with my Lion machine:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmc-jags/?source=typ_redirect

You need to go to this page instead:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmc-jags/files/JAGS/3.x/Mac%20OS%20X/

I picked this link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmc-jags/files/JAGS/3.x/Mac%20OS%20X/JAGS-SnowLeopard-3.4.0.dmg/download

Once that was installed I was able to build the rjags and R2jags from CRAN sources using the GUI package installer.
