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

Hi - I saw your posting on the R-help mailing list. Were you ever able to get this working? did you end up switching to use the rsge library? I'm trying to do the same, and not having very much luck getting it going. Thanks! Peter Waltman [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, the package snow is not working on a windows cluster with MPICH2 and Rmpi. There is an error in makeCluster: launch failed: CreateProcess(/usr/bin/env "RPROG="C:\Programme\R\R-2.5.1\bin\R" "OUT=/dev/null" "R_LIBS=" C:/Programme/R/R-2.5.1/library/snow/RMPInode.sh) on 'cl1' failed, error 3 - Das System kann den angegbenen Pfad nicht finden.

Hello, We have R working with Rmpi/openmpi, but I'm a little worried. Specifically, (a) the -np flag doesn't seem to override the hostfile (it works fine with fortran hello world) and (b) I appear to have twice as many processes running as I think I should. Rmpi version 0.5.5 Openmpi version 1.1 Viglen HPC with (effectively) 9 blades and 8 nodes on each blade. myhosts file contains

I am trying to install the R package "Rmpi" which needs libmpi. I've installed openmpi and lam in Centos 5.2: [root at rab45-1 /]# rpm -qv openmpi openmpi-1.2.5-5.el5 openmpi-1.2.5-5.el5 [root at rab45-1 /]# rpm -qv lam lam-7.1.2-14.el5 lam-7.1.2-14.el5 But I get the following error message when trying to install Rmpi: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/lam/lib/libmpi.so

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?

Greetings. I see a warning message while compiling OpenMPI and would appreciate it if you tell me what it means. This warning happens with any OpenMPI > 1.6.5. Even before starting a cluster, just "sessionInfo" triggers this warning. I'm pasting in the message from R-3.3.2 (this is MRO). Do the R parallel package cluster functions violate the warnings described here? >

Dear knowledgeable experts :-), I am trying to get openmpi, Rmpi and SNOW running on a Myrinet/GM cluster. I'm not an IT expert, but I surely could use a working installation of Rmpi and SNOW. I try to load the Rmpi library and get the following: > library(Rmpi) [master:07230] mca: base: component_find: unable to open osc pt2pt: file not found (ignored)

Subject pretty much says it all. I am running 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04, i.e. Hardy Heron, have openmpi installed, and get the following error message with attempted install of Rmpi. sessionInfo() follows.

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 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

Guys, I'm having troubles with Rmpi on Linux. I got it to work on windows, but on Linux (SuSE 64 bit), using OpenMPI, I can't seem to get it to work :( When I do library(Rmpi) I get the warning: mca: base: component_find: unable to open osc pt2pt: file not found (ignored) Interestingly enough all the examples from the snow tutorial ( http://www.sfu.ca/~sblay/R/snow.html) work despite

Hi guys, I've spent a few days trying to install Rmpi with no luck. I originally tried using mpich, moved on to mpich2, and then to openmpi. I've gotten the furthest with openmpi, though am still running into this problem and can't figure it out. Can someone help!? Thanks so much in advanced. I'm using an HP Envy laptop with Ubuntu 12.04. Output is below, with the error at the

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.

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

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

I am running into the following issue that has been previously reported on the R-devel mailing list. The short version is that I'm writing a package for MPI, and I'd like to change CC and SHLIB_LD to "mpicc". Trying to change them in Makevars.in has no effect, because the values are clobbered by /etc/R/Makeconf. Will the following changes to Makeconf.in introduce any problems?

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 ...

I got Rmpi to compile with little difficulty, but had a tricky time setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use the OpenMPI libs. I now get a different error when I try to load Rmpi > require(Rmpi) Loading required package: Rmpi librdmacm: couldn't read ABI version. librdmacm: assuming: 4 libibverbs: Fatal: couldn't read uverbs ABI version.

Hi I have a few problems installing/updating packages with complicated dependencies. For example, the Rmpi package: update.packages(...) checking for mpi.h... no configure: error: "Cannot find mpi.h header file" ERROR: configuration failed for package ?Rmpi? So I tried: >install.packages("Rmpi",configure.args="--with-mpi=/usr/lib/openmpi") Trying to find
