Hopefully someone else will find this useful. I've figured out how to run WinBUGS using R2WinBUGS and cxoffice under Linux. The problem is that cxoffice does not have a "winepath" script included with it. Probably the best thing would be to simply copy the winepath script from a WINE installation and port to cxoffice, but here's my naive solution. YMMV. No refunds available. <br><br>1) <br>create a file, called say "winepath.sh" with following contents in your cxoffice bin directory (the command "which cxsetup" will help you find it)<br><br style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: courier;">#!/bin/sh</span><br style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: courier;">wine --wl-app winepath $*</span><br><br>Be sure to make it executable (<span style="font-family: courier;">chmod +x winepath.sh</span> )<br><br>Assuming that data, inits and parameters are set up properly<br>2) <br>require(R2WinBUGS)<br>bugs.1 = bugs(data, inits,
 parameters,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; model.file = "/home/stiv/model1.bug", # Linux path<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WINE = "/home/stiv/cxoffice/bin/wine", # use your own path!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WINEPATH = "/home/stiv/cxoffice/bin/winepath.sh", # use your own path!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; bugs.directory = "/path/to/WinBUGS/in/Linux/file/system", # Linux path<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; working.directory = "/home/stiv", # Linux path<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; debug = TRUE)<br><br>David<br><br>
