Error installing rjags in Ubuntu Linux

Hi Frank, Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like that is an excellent way to install JAGS. I've also been successful with installing JAGS, but cannot get the rjags package to install, so I can call JAGS from R. Any suggestions there? Thanks.
After getting jags installed, I did not encounter problems running just
install.packages('rjags'). You might provide some details to the group
and someone may spot the problem.

Hi, Here is a step-by-step guide to exactly how I've installed R in Ubuntu: http://www.nabble.com/installing-R-on-Ubuntu-td10025949.html#a21894865 Regarding rjags, here is what happened: This webpage (http://yusung.blogspot.com/2009/01/install-jags-and-rjags-in-fedora.html) recommends logging into R as sudo R, and then typing: install.packages("rjags", configure.args="--with-jags-include=/usr/local/include/JAGS --with-jags-lib=/usr/local/lib/JAGS --with-jags-modules=/usr/local/lib/JAGS/modules") ...but I get... Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rjags/libs/rjags.so': ...which is virtually identical to this thread (http://www.nabble.com/unable-to-install-rjags-on-64-bit-Debian-Linux-(etch)-td20404210.html#a20404210) about a 64-bit install. Although my computer has dual AMD64's, I'm sure it's a 32-bit system. I have removed rjags with remove.packages("rjags"). Does anybody know how to install rjags in Ubuntu Linux (I'm specifying it, because I am very new and don't know what I'm doing yet)? Thanks.
