This is a rather obscure question, I realize. I have written to the
package author but have not heard back as of yet. I have read the
README in the package, as well, but it didn't give me enough detail to
diagnose the problems that I am having. (I did edit out the LAM-MPI
check in zzz.R.in.)
I am working to install Rmpi on top of MPICH on a beowulf cluster.
Below is the output of the install command (which seems to go OK and
then the start of the R session, which fails. I was hoping someone
with some experience installing Rmpi on MPICH could give me some help
with doing so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
