Hello list,

I am having trouble running a car.normal in OpenBUGS. Not sure if this has something to do with accessing geoBUGS?

 

On my PC, the car.normal models run in WinBUGS 1.4.3.

However, using car.normal models in both OpenBUGS 3.2.1 and 3.2.2: on my Windows PC, I get a trap, and on x86_64 GNU/Linux models I get the following errors:

 

Using BRugs:

#model is syntactically correct

#data loaded

#Error in handleRes(res) :

#  Internal "trap" error in OpenBUGS, or non-existent module or procedure called.

#Calls: BRugsFit ... .OpenBUGS.platform -> .OpenBUGS.helper -> handleRes

#Execution halted

 

Using R2WinBUGS (directing to OpenBUGS):

#after 22 hours:

#Carriage returns added to model file

#model is syntactically correct

#data loaded

#model is initialized

#1000 updates took 655 s

#can not calculate DIC for this model

#monitor set for variable …

#9000 updates took 1571 s

#Error in handleRes(res) :

#  Internal "trap" error in OpenBUGS, or non-existent module or procedure called.

#Calls: openbugs ... .OpenBUGS.platform -> .OpenBUGS.helper -> handleRes

#Error in handleRes(res) :

#  Internal "trap" error in OpenBUGS, or non-existent module or procedure called.

#Calls: openbugs ... .OpenBUGS.platform -> .OpenBUGS.helper -> handleRes

#Execution halted

 

Having referred to two earlier posts, I believe this is a problem with the car.normal in OpenBugs, not in the linux platform:
