Trying to install rjags on Mac OS X 10.5
Hi Lindsay, Did have some difficulties as well, but got it to work using Xcode3.0, Apple's gcc4.2preview release and gfortran 4.2.1 from Simon's web site. This was on R-devel though, on a Mac Intel. Can it find the jags executable say from your home directory? Have you tried 'make check' in the classic-bugs/vol1 or vol2 example dirs (in the Terminal)? That would indeed confirm jags is running fine. For rjags, I am a bit worried about the /opt/... . Did you at some point install software from Fink or Darwin ports? Until I installed the above newer toolset, I had never been able to get rjags to work. Of course you don't really need rjags, only coda. I have also installed the package 'arm' and the packages arm depends on (Matrix, lattice, lme4, R2WinBugs). If it would help I can send you a 'template' dir for the line example that does not use rjags. A dependency I ran into was coda v 13.1, as of a couple of days ago not available as a binary package, but available as a source package on CRAN. Rob

Greetings, I wonder if anyone can offer any help or advice--even direction to an appropriate source of advice. I am trying to install rjags 1.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5 (see http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/). I have R.app 2.6.1 installed. JAGS 1.0.1 is apparently successfully installed. I (think I) know this because when I type 'jags' into Terminal, I get the following: Macintosh:Desktop ljs$ jags Welcome to JAGS 1.0.1 on Thu Dec 27 20:56:09 2007 JAGS is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY Loading module: basemod Loading module: bugs . However, when I try to install rjags, I get the following problem. Macintosh:Desktop ljs$ sudo R CMD INSTALL rjags_1.0.1-1.tar.gz Password: * Installing to library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ library' * Installing *source* package 'rjags' ... checking for pkg-config... /opt/local/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for JAGS... configure: error: Package requirements (jags = 1.0.1) were not met: No package 'jags' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rjags' ** Removing '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/rjags' I am really not sure what the problem is. I have (I think) set the proper environment variables correctly. See below: Macintosh:Desktop ljs$ which jags /usr/local/bin/jags Macintosh:Desktop ljs$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/bin I should say that I had many other problems along the way--gfortran not originally installed properly, R CMD INSTALL couldn't find pkg-config. However, the above description shows the problems remaining even after I have done a little homework. Best wishes, Lindsay Stirton
