I just tried with SOCK rather than MPI on my machine and it worked. Just
ask R to
update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
and try again. If you have the same problems, try SOCK rather than MPI.
If MPI is the culprit, please debug your MPI setup.

Hi,
The following function use to work, but now it doesn't giving the error
"> CallSnow(, 100)
Using snow package, asking for 2 nodes
2 slaves are spawned successfully. 0 failed.
Error in checkForRemoteErrors(val) :
2 nodes produced errors; first error: no applicable method for 'lapply' applied to an
object of class "list"
".
Where this is the problem line of code "yusum<- parLapply(cl, yu, sum)"
The function is
CallSnow<- function (Nnodes = 2, Nsamples = Nnodes)
{
require(Rmpi)
require(snow)
cat("Using snow package, asking for ", Nnodes, "nodes \n")
cl<- makeCluster(Nnodes, type="MPI")
on.exit(stopCluster(cl))
#print(do.call("rbind", clusterCall(cl, function(cl) Sys.info()["nodename"])))
#
## uses RSPRNG if there
#
#clusterSetupSPRNG(cl)
clusterSetupRNGstream(cl, seed = rep(123456, 6))
yu<- clusterCall(cl, runif, Nsamples)
yusum<- parLapply(cl, yu, sum)
print(yusum)
yn<- clusterCall(cl, rnorm, Nsamples)
print(yn)
return()
}
This is under R-2.12.1. on a windows Xp machine. This function still runs
satisfactorily on a machine running r-2.11.1 under Suse10.3/sles.
Thanks
