A nice little puzzle for Sage's R users trying to use R 3.3.1 (forthcoming 
in Trac#20523 <https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/20523>) : the (still 
damnably useful, notwithstanding rstan) rjags package no longer installs.

rjags calls the system's jags binary and system's jags modules (compiled as 
.so objects in Unix). However, there is currently (i. e. sage 7.4 beta4) a 
conflict between the system's and Sage's notion of what BLAS should do : my 
(Debian) system's BLAS wants to use  a gotoblas function, not found in what 
Sage uses for BLAS.

A possible workaround is to install a Sage-specific version of JAGS from 
the source, configured with something like "./configure 
--prefix=$SAGE_ROOT/local") in a Sage shell (and compiled and installed in 
the Sage shell...). This worked like a charm for me.

I do not know Sage's build system well enough to know if forcing Sage to 
use system's numerical livraries (by forcing, e. g. to use the local ATLAS 
libraries) should be enough.

HTH,
