Executive Summary:  

The Debian genesis package contains SPRNG v1.0.  The R RSPRNG package
is really set up to use SPRNG v2.0.  There are extremely crude RPM/DEB
packages of v2.0 for Intel Linux at 

     http://software.biostat.washington.edu/~rossini/cluster_computing/

(I should stress again, they are fairly crude; but they work on our
machines, and apparently, on some other people's machines as well).

best,
