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

I'm having trouble with R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.5-5.tar.gz --configure-args=~/lam lam is is installed locally. lamboot -d (or lamboot-d and also recon) works. make -k check from the lamtest suite passes all tests. Is this is problem with the -fPIC compiler as in the message? Should it be modified in the Makefile? Any help or comments are appreciated, thanks. * Installing to library

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?

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, 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

I just installed Rmpi on my 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy Heron OS and using the following without errors: "R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.5-5.tar.gz --configure-args=--with-mpi=/usr/lib64/openmpi" Immediately at library(Rmpi) I get the segfault displayed in my complete output below. My first thought is that perhaps I used the wrong library for openmpi, but with my 64 bit install it seemed like a logical

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

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.

Hello everyone, I've been fiddling around with the snow and Rmpi packages on my new Intel Mac, and have run into a few problems. When I make a cluster on my machine, both slaves start up just fine, and everything works as expected. When I try to make a cluster including another networked machine it hangs. I've followed the suggestions at

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.

Dear R People: I'm having some trouble with mpiexec and Rmpi. I would like to be able to pass in the number of "children" via the mpiexec command (from the command line). this is in SUSE10.1, with R-2.7.1 Here are my files: cat eb.R library(Rmpi) mpi.remote.exec(paste("i am",mpi.comm.rank(),"of",mpi.comm.size())) mpi.quit() hodgesse at

Hi, I'm testing affyPara on Debian lenny with R 2.7 from unstable, and the corresponding bioconductor packages from bioconductor.org downloaded using biocLite as per usual. The command cl = makeMPIcluster(k) succeeds, but spawns k R slaves which promptly soak up all available CPU, which is odd since they are not doing anything yet. This looks like a bug to me. Similar behaviour is shown

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

Hi, I've been trying here to install Rmpi on an SGI IA-64 machine with 64 processors, running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, R 2.4.0 and lam-mpi 7.1.3. While I've read of similar problems on this list, I think I've got an entirely new set of error messages to contribute (see below). I'm not sure what the actual error is and what the @gprel relocation message is about. Any help

Hi, I am using a cluster with LAM 7.1.3/MPI 2 and R 2.6.0. Rmpi version 0.5-5 is working very well. Now I have tested "Rmpi 0.5-6". During spawning the Rslaves I get an error: MPI_Error_string: error spawning process > sessionInfo() R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu locale:

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

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

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 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

Dear all, I have used the Rmpi package many times before however this time I've installed it as I always do with openMPI tar.gz file direct from the website. I'm installing on my ubuntu 8.10.
