Hi, 

I just upgraded R to version 3.3.2 on a Mac OS X system. I suspect something may have gone wrong with the installation (despite a ?successfully installed? message) because the R.App is nowhere to be found.
Nevertheless, I can open R in ESS. The problem is I can?t install packages from there. Here is an example of the error message:
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

Loading required package: coda

  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/rjags/libs/rjags.so
  Reason: image not found
Error: package or namespace load failed for ?rjags?

Does anyone know what may be going on?

Thank you,

There are two different installation packages. One has the GUI and one doesn't. Which one did you use?

And this is really coming to the wrong mailing list:

Should have been directed to: R-SIG-Mac at r-project.org
rjags requires an external package to be installed to be functional

packageDescription('rjags')

# SystemRequirements: JAGS 4.x.y

Is that done?
So, is there a symlink in that directory?
