Dear Sir:

I have installed the BayesX, R2BayesX and BayesXsrc on my Mac using OSX10.7.4.

I have tried several examples from R help without success. For example:

> set.seed(111)
> n <- 500
> ## regressors
> dat <- data.frame(x = runif(n, -3, 3))
> ## response
> dat$y <- with(dat, 10 + sin(x) + rnorm(n, sd = 0.6))
> 
> ## estimate models with
> ## bayesx MCMC and REML
> b1 <- bayesx(y ~ sx(x), method = "MCMC", data = dat)
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/BayesXsrc/libs/i386/BayesX
  Reason: image not found
Total run time was: 0.877 sec

Please let me know how to fix this problem.

I also tried the demo without obtaining any worthwhile output.


Demos in package ‘R2BayesX’:

forest                  A Space–Time Study on Forest Health
zambia                  Determinants of Childhood Malnutrition in Zambia

	Since I am not the only person having this problem and reluctant to move forward with one of the following recommendations below, I am curious if the problem has been diagnosed further and clear cut fix has been determined. To be frank, I need more information to implement the first two recommendations.

So your R installation on your unstated OS is incomplete/corrupt. 

It looks like this is OS X, so: 

- wrong list (use R-sig-mac) 
- you need to tell the correct list a lot more, including the 'at a 
minimum' information asked for in the R posting guide (see below), and 
how you installed R. 
- a possible answer is to install 
http://r.research.att.com/src/readline-5.2.tar.gz : see the OS X 
documentation.

Thanks,

Paul
