Dear BUGS users in R. Recently I installed BUGS and R, following Gelman's directions in http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/ Then, whenever I open R, I have the following error and warning messages: Error in file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file 'c://bugsR/bugs.R', reason 'Permission denied' However, despite these error and warning messages, example programs about "schools" run correctly (i.e., I have the same results as Gelman's description). Now my question is about whether other users also have had such error and warning messages, and whether I can ignore the messages because BUGS and R seem to work. I would appreciate your reply to this question.
