[R] JAGS 4.x, rjags 4.x problems | Linux

[Evan Cooch]

I wonder if this is the problem -- on my system(s), R is installed to 
/usr/lib64/R, whereas JAGS and associated files is in 
/usr/local/lib/JAGS. I have a hunch that the problem relates to where  
rjags expects to find things during install/compile, given how R was 
compiled, and where it is installed.

Seem reasonable? Not sure what to do about it, but...
