I just wanted to post in conclusion to this thread that I have had success running WinBUGS from R via R2WinBUGS, with the help of Gorjanc, Uwe, and Ben by email outside of this thread.
I may have had a permissions problem, that was probably corrected by entering this in the terminal: m...@computer:~$ chmod -R u+w /home/me/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files"/WinBUGS14/ >From here, I opened R, entered library(R2WinBUGS), then ?bugs, then copy/pasted the example, and ran it exactly. My mistake that prevented it all from running was that I started R as sudo R, thinking that would give me more permissions, because I thought I was having permissions-oriented problems. But this is wrong. When I started R by merely entering R in the terminal, the example code ran perfectly. Success! Winepaths did not have to be specified because WinBUGS was installed in the usual place (c:/Program Files/WinBUGS14/"). Other people have emailed me, indicating that newer versions of WINE have not worked for them, so I am back with WINE 1.0. I hope this helps others trying to run WinBUGS on Linux. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-connect-R-and-WinBUGS-OpenBUGS-LinBUGS-in-Linux-in-Feb.-2009-tp22058716p22136577.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
