Has anybody tried to use Rmpi with the OpenMPI library instead of LAM/MPI? LAM appears to be somewhat hardcoded in the Rmpi setup. Before I start to experiment with changing this, has anybody else tried Rmpi with non-LAM MPI implementations?

Many thanks to Dr Yu for updating Rmpi for R 2.6.0, and for starting to make the changes to support Open MPI. I have just built the updated Debian package of Rmpi (i.e. r-cran-rmpi) under R 2.6.0 but I cannot convince myself yet whether it works or not. Simple tests work. E.g. on my Debian testing box, with Rmpi installed directly using Open Mpi 1.2.3-2 (from Debian) and using 'r' from

Any idea why CHAR(asChar(STRING_ELT( produces NA whereas CHAR(STRING_ELT( gets a pointer to a string? It's generally expected that STRING_ELT should already be a character, but why the coercion does not work? Here is a simple example (consistent over R2.5.1-R2.6 rev 42284, I didn't check earlier versions, but it used to be different in 2.4): install.packages("inline")

Hello, I've installed R on my RHEL3 cluster and I am trying to get Rmpi to work properly. R is installed using the following ./configure --prefix=/home/apps/R-2.2.0 I installed snow using R CMD INSTALL /home/apps/snow And finaly Rmpi R CMD INSTALL /home/apps/Rmpi --configure-args=--with-mpi=/path/to/lam There were no errors or warnings upon installation. However when i perform the test

After several trial and error attempts, I managed to install the Rmpi package without error on my Linux machine, running Fedora 5. I installed lam-7.1.2, lam-devel-7.1.2 and R-2.4.1, R-devel-2.4.1 The Package Rmpi_5.0-3.tar.gz, I installed once from within R and once from the command line to make sure, I link the right libraries: R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_5.0-3.tar.gz

I am running R 2.14.1 on a Windows XP (32 bit) system, and am trying to install the package 'Rmpi' to allow me to parallel process on all cores of a quad-core PC (and if that works well, I want to add extra slaves from a dual-core laptop). Rmpi appears to install OK (see below), but I am encountering the following error when I try and load the package: > utils:::menuInstallLocal()

Looking at shash in unique.c, from R-2.10.1 I'm wondering if it makes sense to hash the pointer itself rather than the string it points to? In other words could the SEXP pointer be cast to unsigned int and the usual scatter be called on that as if it were integer? shash would look like a slightly modified version of ihash like this : static int shash(SEXP x, int indx, HashData *d) {

Hello everybody, I am trying to install Rmpi on 64-bit HP-Proliant server. I am facing the following error: * Installing *source* package 'Rmpi' ... Try to find mpi.h ...

Hi Folks, I've recently transitioned to Debian 8.0 and was having a hard time getting Rmpi to work. I believed I'd successfully installed dependencies via > sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmpi > apt-show-versions r-cran-rmpi r-cran-rmpi:amd64/jessie 0.6-5-1 uptodate but when installing the package I was still getting checking mpi.h presence... no checking for mpi.h... no

I try to install Rmpi as root with install.packages("Rmpi"). It fails with: ... checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 option to accept ISO C89... none needed I am here /usr and it is OpenMPI Trying to find mpi.h ... Found in /usr/include Trying to find libmpi.so or libmpich.a ... Found libmpi in /usr/lib checking for openpty in -lutil... yes checking for main in -lpthread...

I'm just curious if anyone else has had problems with this configuration. I added the CRAN repository to apt and installed 2.5.0 with apt-get. I then did an install.packages("Rmpi") on cluster nodes. Rmpi loads and lamhosts() shows the nodes, but mpi.spawn.Rslaves() fails (something to do with temp files?). Rmpi works fine with the Edgy-native version of R (2.3.x) and installing

I am trying to build Rmpi on Suse 10.2 linux. While I would like to use the RPM version of liblam-7.1.2, I have not been able to do so. It seems that Rmpi makes some pretty strong assumptions when trying to guess the MPI version. Has anyone successfully built Rmpi against lam-7.1.2 recently using R-2.6.0? If so, can you give some pointers about where the libraries and header files need to be

Rmpi is not currently available on CRAN, and I don't think it has been for a few months. It is available at http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/yu/Rmpi/ Does anyone know its current status? A few months ago I corresponded with the author, who noted some build problems (specifically on Debian) were the hang up, and seemed to be working on it. I wasn't able to get it to work then (on a

Dear R Gurus: Is there a problem with Rmpi on x86 with SUSE 10.1, please? I've tried everything and it still won't load. Has anyone else dealt with this please? Thanks, Edna Bell

Hi all, now I'm testing R in a "virtual cluster", made it with VirtualBox. This one has 3 nodes, running CentOS 5 and OpenMPI 1.2.8, and the principal node (called "server") exports the /home to other nodes. I have installed R and OpenMPI in /home, in fact, it seems work OK. Editing the openmpi-default-hostfile and run "mpirun -np 3 hostname" I can see the

Hello R users and developers, I would like to install Rmpi so that I may take advantage of all of the CPUs in my computer, but I cannot get it to install and I am not very good with linux so it is adding to the headache. I have looked through the help archive, but I have not been successful at getting Rmpi to work. I am not sure if I am even installing openMPI correctly in linux. I would really
