But parallel::detectCores(TRUE) is a call of desparation: this ran code intended for FreeBSD.

If all else fails read the help:

     It has methods to do so for Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, Irix
     and Windows.  ‘detectCores(TRUE)’ could be tried on other
     Unix-alike systems.

Thanks, Bill. The output is:

trace(system, quote(print(command)))
 parallel::detectCores(TRUE)

The same is true in R-2.14.1 on  Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS .  Put a trace on
system with
  trace(system, quote(print(command)))
  parallel::detectCores(TRUE)
and you will see the offending shell command.

Hi,

Both under the current R-devel (r66456) and a version from about 3
months ago, I experience the following behavior:

parallel::detectCores(TRUE)
Error in system(cmd, TRUE) : error in running command
traceback()
3: system(cmd, TRUE)
2: gsub("^ +", "", system(cmd, TRUE)[1])
1: parallel::detectCores(TRUE)


This is on Ubuntu 14.04. Does anybody else see this? [I currently have
quite a heavy workload, otherwise I would have installed and tested it
also under 3.1.1]

Cheers,

Marius
