Hi,
Someone recently told me that R is not working well with other programs in
a clustered environment.
Why not, was is the problem supposed to be?

redhat environment. What was also mentioned was that there are problems when
running multiple R instance at the same time.
This is new to the developers, as far as I know.
Personally I haven't experienced any of the described difficulties but would
like to get your feedback and potentially some documentation on how to set
up R in a server and cluster environment...
What would be also of interest is to get to know how people have set up
their servers. Are people installing R on an individual basis or as one
resource for everyone?
Depends on the setup. I like 1 installation for everybody and everybody
can add packages in private libraries.
I know that there are occasionally some issues with versions such that
potentially many versions have to live at the same time. Could this cause
any problems?
No.
As far as I know any packages can be installed on an individual bases as
well as centralized so this shouldn't cause any problem, or is there
potential for problems?
No, unless packages for different versions are mixed up or so, but if
you install into clearly separated libraries, everything should be fine.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks a lot for your kind support and help in this matter,
Cheers,
