Hi Sayan,
Just stumbled upon this email, three months old, since I was having
the same problem, and noticed you hadn't been answered. I was able to solve
this problem by noting that the "snow" library was not installed on
the
nodes--it has to be installed everywhere.
So, you need to ssh to the "ip to another computer on the network ",
then be
sure the same version of R and the snow package are installed on that
computer, and THEN it should work.
Good luck!
