[Bugs-r-devel] R2WinBUGS on Solaris

[Rodney S. <rsp...@mc...>]

Hi Gang:

Recent versions of WINE (1.1.3 and 1.1.4) actually work on Solaris 10
and OpenSolaris.  And, R2WinBUGS works as well with WinBUGS.  However,
there seem to be 2 bugs. 

1. The working.directory is assumed to be the same directory as the
model.file and setting working.directory to something else doesn't help. 

2. Attempting to use OpenBUGS fails due to a requirement for the BRugs
package.  However, no such package exists on CRAN.  There is the rbugs
package.  But, loading that package doesn't help.  The same error message
is displayed.  What/where is the BRugs package?

It will be exciting to see R2WinBUGS running on the Solaris platform after
these are fixed!  Our students are just starting a year-long course in
Bayesian indoctrination and they will benefit immensely from your efforts.
