installing rjags in ubuntu 14.04

Installing rjags from RStudio in Ubuntu 14.04, I get the error message,

configure: error: "JAGS module directory /usr/lib/JAGS/modules-3 does not exist."

In usr/lib/JAGS there is modules-4.

I also can't install rjags from the console, because I get the error message,

Problem with header file /usr/local/include/JAGS/Console.h

However, apt-get install r-cran-rjags works, but then rjags can't be loaded in R because it is looking for libjags.so.3

Suggestions for installing properly?

Solution

  • According to Martyn Plummer's blog post, the CRAN version of rjags has not yet been updated to work with JAGS 4.0.0, which I guess you recently updated.

    You can either wait patiently for the CRAN update or you can download the updated rjags package from SourceForge.
