I have posted the following question on stackoverflow
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24940918/error-using-rmpi-on-osx-moutain-lion>
(but i didn't get any feedback). I am posting it here, hoping that a more
R-focued user group might be able to help me out..

Thank you

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to install Rmpi on OSX moutain lion. I have installed open-mpi,
and i have installed Rmpi (both i think successfully). I can load the
R-package using

library(Rmpi),

however, whenever i try to run the commands:

mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=2)

I get an error

FORKING HNP: orted --hnp --set-sid --report-uri 15
--singleton-died-pipe 16 -mca state_novm_select 1 -mca ess_base_jobid
3017342976

and i get an error log file in my home directory: which state:

Warning messages:
 1: In library(Rmpi, logical.return = TRUE) :
 there is no package called ‘Rmpi’
 2: Rmpi cannot be loaded

I have tried uninstall/re-install open-mpi using Brew (following the
following instruction <http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/yu/Rmpi/>) and
downloading/installing open-mpi from their website
<http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.8/>. I am using R version 3.1.1
 on Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)and using open-mpi 1.8.1

Has anyone experience this error before and/or know how to resolves it?

Thank you very much in advance
