WinBugs doesn't run in LINUX. Neither OpenBugs.

Ah, sorry, haven't read carefully enough.
The only possible thing is to run WinBUGS under wine and use R2WinBUGS, which supports the wine/WinBUGS combination.

'Linux' is too vague. AFAIK none of this runs on Linux on Sparc or PPC for example.

Tobias Verbeke referred to a thread which is AFAICS about building an ix86 Linux bugs executable from the distributed brugs.so in OpenBUGS. If you can get that to run (and like Uwe, I get a trap), you can then communicate with that bugs executable via files (in the same way that R2WinBUGS communicates with WinBUGS).

It is not clear to me that the Windows classicbugs.exe or winbugs.exe in OpenBUGS could not be run under Wine with communication via files, but R2WinBUGS is not set up to do so.

Hi all,
 I observed that the 'link' between R and BUGS (winBugs/linBugs) has
totally disappeared. I'm wondering what package can be use to run
bayesian models specified using the BUGS language in R (specifically
under Linux). Is there any other option besides JAGS ?
 Thanks

Ther are several package, if you want to use WinBUGS (not recommended),
there is the CRAN package R2WinBUGS, and if you want to use OpenBUGS
(the "new" version of WinBUGS), use BRugs, which is available from the
"CRAN extras" repository hosted by Brian Ripley (which is a default
repository for R for Windows, hence install.packages("BRugs") should
work).

Best wishes,
