That didn't survice a cut&paste very well. It should read
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ orterun -n 2 -H ron,joe r -lRmpi -e'cat("Hello",
mpi.comm.rank(0), "of", mpi.comm.size(), "on", mpi.get.processor.name(), "\n")'
Hello 0 of 0 on ron
Hello 1 of 0 on joe

| Here 'r' is littler; it uses the -l flag to load the specified library and
| the -e flag to pass the string for evaluation.
|
| 'ron' is a Debian testing box, 'joe' is an Ubuntu hardy box, and both are
| running the standard packages for Debian and Ubuntu:
|
| r-cran-rmpi for Rmpi libopenmpi1 for Open MPI littler for 'r'
|
| I happen to maintain all of those in Debian and noticed that Open MPI was
| broken in Ubuntu 'hardy' as they foobared the build; but that is now
| fixed. Ubuntu users should get an updated package via hardy-updates.
|
| As for your problem, you haven't told us which MPI toolkit you are running.
| It may be LAM in which case you probably want to read up on lamboot and the
| hosts file or argument -- but that is just a guess.
|
| Hope this helps, Dirk
