When trying to create (a very simple) cluster using makeSOCKcluster or makeCluster I get the following error message:
library(snow)
cl <- makeSOCKcluster("localhost")
Fatal error: kann Datei '~/R/i686-suse-linux-gnu-library/2.8/snow/RSOCKnode.R' nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
(translation: could not open file [...]: File or directory not found)

The R-prompt does not re-appear until CTRL-C has been pressed.

RSCOKnode.R is definitely there with all access right:
ls -l ~/R/i686-suse-linux-gnu-library/2.8/snow/RSOCKnode.R

In contrast, creating explicitly "homogenous" cluster works:
setDefaultClusterOptions(homogeneous = TRUE)
cl <- makeSOCKcluster("localhost")

Since I intend to use really "inhomgenous" clusters, I followed the respective instructions given on http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/cluster/cluster.html#Section:InhomogeneousSystems. I also tried the modifications to RSOCKnode.sh proposed in http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/R/RProg.pdf - no different behaviour.

I'd appreciate any comments that help me in getting an incomogenous cluster running without the need of MPI or PVM.

Thanks in advance.
