It is known for sometime for its difficulty to install; here is what was done

# Cardio
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/scratch/$USER/lib/pkgconfig

R CMD INSTALL rjags_4-6.tar.gz --configure-args='CPPFLAGS="-fPIC" LDFLAGS="-L/scratch/$USER/lib -ljags"
--with-jags-prefix=/scratch/$USER
--with-jags-libdir=/scratch/$USER/lib
--with-jags-includedir=/scratch/$USER/include'

# csd3
export hpcwork=/rds-d4/user/$USER/hpc-work
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${hpcwork}/lib/pkgconfig

wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/rjags_4-10.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL rjags_4-10.tar.gz --configure-args='CPPFLAGS="-fPIC" LDFLAGS="-L${hpcwork}/lib -ljags"
--with-jags-prefix=${hpcwork}
--with-jags-libdir=${hpcwork}/lib
--with-jags-includedir=${hpcwork}/include'
 

As is with the module jags-4.3.0-gcc-5.4.0-4z5shby, we would see this error message from R 4.1.0,

** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rjags':
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rjags', details:
  call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
  error: unable to load shared object '/rds/user/jhz22/hpc-work/R/00LOCK-rjags/00new/rjags/libs/rjags.so':

Error: loading failed

then this is due to different versions of compilers were used to build JAGS and rjags, so the former needs to be rebuilt.

This following can be adapted from rjags/src under Fedora 37 for R-devel,

g++ -std=gnu++14 -I"/home/jhz22/R-devel/include" -DNDEBUG -I/usr/local/include/JAGS -fpic -g -O2 -c jags.cc -o jags.o
g++ -std=gnu++14 -I"/home/jhz22/R-devel/include" -DNDEBUG -I/usr/local/include/JAGS -fpic -g -O2 -c parallel.cc -o parallel.o
 

This is due to call such as #include <rng/RNGFactory.h> as in parallel.cc is within /usr/local/include/JAGS.
