[R] Error installing rjags in Ubuntu Linux

[Paul Heinrich Dietrich]

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the suggestion.  It looks like that is an excellent way to
install JAGS.  I've also been successful with installing JAGS, but cannot
get the rjags package to install, so I can call JAGS from R.  Any
suggestions there?  Thanks.
