Dear users, I want to set up R to use one R-script directory and one R-library (directory for packages) for many end-users. I try to do this by using one network-share. This works fine as long as we don't use the snowfall package with parallel=TRUE (sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=4, type="SOCK")). When running R with default settings (local library and local script directory) then snowfall works great. When I tried to understand the problem I tested local library and local script directory and started the R program through a shortcut but this resulted in the program hanging as well. The same when I tried to start the program through the directory C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\i386 and C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\x64. The only way for it to work is when I start the program through the Start-menu. The R-program hangs when executing sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=Cpu, type="SOCK"). When running process explorer I see the R-program creating a TCP connection in the state LISTENER but no ESTABLISHED happens. Regards Anna [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Dear Anna ! I have the same problem with Window 7 - 64 bits. If I use R 2.12.2 with snow packages 0.3-3. It works well. But with R 2.13.0 with the same snow packages. It just hang. I start R (Run as administrator), turn off firewall ... But it seems R .13.0 version of socket connect to window has been changed ??? That 's my experience so far. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Snow-Snowfall-hangs-on-windows-7-tp3436724p3480368.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
