Dear all, I had trouble in setting up WinBUGS on my Mac, and I'm seeking for some help here.
I followed the instruction by Tom Palmer here: http://www.ruudwetzels.com/MacBUGS/winbugsonmacosx.pdf I installed Darwine 1.1.21, and downloaded WinBUGS14. However, when I double-clicked the WinBUGS14.exe file, a black-box dialog window poped up, and I got error message in the Wine log as follows: fixme:keyboard:RegisterHotKey (0x10032,13,0x00000002,3): stub err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {0003000a-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {0003000a-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {0003000a-0000-0000-c000- 000000000046} could be created for context 0x3 I googled this and saw some other people having the same problem, but I did not find any useful answer to this. Then I tried to run the schools example in the R2WinBUGS package as follows: schools <- read.table ("schools.txt", header=TRUE) J <- nrow(schools) y <- schools$estimate sigma.y <- schools$sd data <- list ("J", "y", "sigma.y") inits <- function() {list (theta=rnorm(J,0,100), mu.theta=rnorm(1,0,100), sigma.theta=runif(1,0,100))} parameters <- c("theta", "mu.theta", "sigma.theta") schools.sim <- bugs (data, inits, parameters, model.file="schoolsmodel.bug", n.chains=3, n.iter=1000, bugs.directory="/Applications/WinBUGS14", WINE="/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine", WINEPATH="/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/winepath", useWINE=TRUE,clearWD=FALSE) It still did not work, and the same error message occurred, plus some error message from R: fixme:keyboard:RegisterHotKey (0x10058,13,0x00000002,3): stub err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {0003000a-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {0003000a-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {0003000a-0000-0000-c000- 000000000046} could be created for context 0x3 Error in bugs.run(n.burnin, bugs.directory, WINE = WINE, useWINE = useWINE, : Look at the log file and try again with 'debug=TRUE' to figure out what went wrong within Bugs.
