similar to: rsprng doesn't install on Debian (woody) (PR#2378)

<<insert bug report here>> I cannot install the R package "rsprng" with the following error message: > install.packages("rsprng") trying URL 'http://www.stathy.com/cran/src/contrib/rsprng_0.3-4.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-tar' length 35934 bytes opened URL ================================================== downloaded 35Kb * Installing

When I try to install Rmpi, it has a dependency rsprng which, as its description says: Provides interface to SPRNG 2.0 APIs I installed it on Mepis by installing the appropriate debs with minimal drama. In the rpm world of Fedora, no such luxury. Installing rsprng fails because: checking sprng.h usability... no checking sprng.h presence... no checking for sprng.h... no Cannot find sprng 2.0

Hi, I was trying to install the package Rmpi on a hpc cluster running SGE. The command, and the sessionInfo() is as follows: =========================================== > install.packages("Rmpi",dependencies=TRUE) also installing the dependency ‘rsprng’ trying URL ' http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/R/CRAN/src/contrib/rsprng_1.0.tar.gz' Content type

Although this query was inspired by distributed random number generation, one of the questions (#2 below) is a single-machine issue. I call C++ code from R to generate simulated data. I'm doing this on a cluster, and use rmpi and rsprng. While rsprng randomizes R-level random numbers (e.g., from runif), it has no effect on the C code, which is completely SPRNG and MPI ignorant. Currently I

?Random.user says (in svn trunk) Optionally, functions \code{user_unif_nseed} and \code{user_unif_seedloc} can be supplied which are called with no arguments and should return pointers to the number of seeds and to an integer array of seeds. Calls to \code{GetRNGstate} and \code{PutRNGstate} will then copy this array to and from \code{.Random.seed}. And it offers as an example void

Hi all, I'm trying to get the snow package with mpi working on my linux ubuntu 10.04 machine. When I tried to install it (see below) it already had problems with the dependencies.

Dear People, This may not be the right place to ask a question about Rmpi, but I don't know of a better one. I am trying to get a simple program working using Rmpi with the model of 1 R master and n C slaves. What I am trying to do is have each of the C slaves generate a random number from U[0,1], and then have the master collect all n numbers as a vector and output it. However even doing

Hello, I plan to use R with my cluster with OpenMPI. I need the packaged 'snow' and 'Rmpi' for that, however, I get an error while downloading and installing them: When I do a: install.packages("Rmpi", dependencies=T) I get this error: checking for mpi.h... no Try to find libmpi.so or libmpich.a checking for main in -lmpi... no libmpi not found.

The proper use of SPRNG is a little unclear to me in each of these packages, even more so when I put them all together. My immediate question: in snow I did clusterSetupSRNG. If a later want to (re) set the system to a known seed, how do I do it? That is, I want each distributed process to recreate exactly the same random numbers that it did before; I assume SPRNG assures the streams are

Hi All, I have k identical parallel pieces of code running, each using n.rand random numbers.? I would like to use the same RNG (for now), and set the seeds so that I can guarantee that there are no overlaps in the random numbers sampled by the k pieces of code.? Another side goal is to have reproducibility of my results.? In?the past I have used C with SPRNG for this task, but I'm hoping

Dear R-users, Does anyone of you have binary files for the packages rpart.permutation, snow and rsprng. I would like to use them in my classification tree. I know they are still at the 0.x development stage, though. Where can I get information on how to compile tar.gz files? I'm using windows XP with R 2.1.0. Thanks, Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello! I am performing coupling of chains in MCMC and I need the same value of seed for two chains. I will show demo of what I want: R code, which might show my example is: niter <- 3 nchain <- 2 tmpSeed <- 123 for (i in 1:niter) { # iterations for (j in 1:nchain) { # chains set.seed(tmpSeed) a <- runif(1) cat("iter:", i, "chain:", j,

Dear All, I have three classes of questions about generating random numbers with different packages (windows xp 32bit R). . 1. Suppose I would like to use package *foreach*, can I use current Sys.time as a seed? Although I can get the time up to1e-6 second precesion, the code below dose not work well on a local machine with two cores. ################# library(foreach) library(snow)

Hi, I am having a problem with installing Rmpi package on redhat linux machine. The R I am using is version 2.10.1.

Hello and thanks in advance for your time. I currently have a simulation running on my cluster with the help of snow that relies on global variables being changes regularly to random values. It uses these values, lets call them x1 x2 and x3, in custom functions for logliklyhood and score that gets used in the standard optim function. To get set in the global table on the different

Dear list, I have to read some clinical data a file coming from Filemaker on Macintosh (Ugh ! But it could be worse and come from Excel...). Exporting via Excel is out of question since the file has 467 columns and 121 lines (+ headers), which is out of reach of Excel. So I received an "mer"" files, which is what Filemaker exports as a text file. It seems to be a semicolon

Dear List, I have had problems inserting some (not all !) figures via odfWeave (using print(someLatticeFunction)...). The figure was correctly displayed in a R device window but the resulting ODF document displayed the correct space for the figure and an empty frame with a "broken image" icon and a "read error" mention. Exploration of the odf (.odt, in my case) file showed

Dear list, dear Max, I a currently working on a report. I'm writing it with OpenOffice.org and odfWeave. I'm working increentally : I write a bit, test (interactively) some ideas, cutting-and-pasting code to the Ooo report when satisfied with it. I the process, I tend to recompile the .odt source a *lot*. Suddenly, odfWeave started to give me an incomprehensible error even before

Dear List, I am (again) looking at meta-regression as a way to refine meta-analytic results. What I want to do is to assess the impact of some fixed factors on the results of a meta-analysis. Some of them may be crossed with the main factor of the meta-analysis (e. g. clinical presentation of a disease, defining subgroups in each of the studies under analysis), some of them may be a grouping
