[R] Ubu edgy + latest CRAN R + Rmpi = no go

[Tim Keitt]

I'm just curious if anyone else has had problems with this
configuration. I added the CRAN repository to apt and installed 2.5.0
with apt-get. I then did an install.packages("Rmpi") on cluster nodes.
Rmpi loads and lamhosts() shows the nodes, but mpi.spawn.Rslaves()
fails (something to do with temp files?). Rmpi works fine with the
Edgy-native version of R (2.3.x) and installing Edgy's r-cran-rmpi
with apt. (But I need some other packages that only work in 2.4+!)
Could this be a problem with the latest Ubu debs on CRAN? The Rmpi
author says his R 2.5 setup works fine. CC me please as I'm not
subscribed.
