[R-sig-hpc] difficulty spawning Rslaves

Hi All,
My setup is on a cluster running 64bit FC. I have recently broken my
install Rmpi (and hence snow) by upgrading some very old versions of R,
lam/mpi, Rmpi, and snow (currently installed versions listed at the
bottom of this email). No doubt this is a problem with my Rmpi install,
but I'm having trouble seeing it.
I cannot seem to spawn more than a single slave (which is spawned on the
master node)
e.g.:
> mpi.spawn.Rslaves(comm=1,nslaves=1)
1 slaves are spawned successfully. 0 failed.
master (rank 0, comm 1) of size 2 is running on: node0
slave1 (rank 1, comm 1) of size 2 is running on: node0
> mpi.comm.free(comm=1)
[1] 1
> mpi.spawn.Rslaves(comm=1,nslaves=2)
2 slaves are spawned successfully. 0 failed.
Error in mpi.intercomm.merge(intercomm, 0, comm) :
MPI_Error_string: process in local group is dead
No doubt the answer is contained in the MPI_Error string, but I'm not
sure how to interpret it.
Thanks,
Allan
