Dear users,
I want to set up R to use one R-script directory and one R-library (directory
for packages) for many end-users. I try to do this by using one network-share.
This works fine as long as we don't use the snowfall package with parallel=TRUE
(sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=4, type="SOCK")).
When running R with default settings (local library and local script directory)
then snowfall works great.
When I tried to understand the problem I tested local library and local script
directory and started the R program through a shortcut but this resulted in the
program hanging as well. The same when I tried to start the program through the
directory C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\i386 and C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\x64. The only way for it to work is when I start the
program through the Start-menu.
The R-program hangs when executing sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=Cpu,
type="SOCK"). When running process explorer I see the R-program creating a TCP
connection in the state LISTENER but no ESTABLISHED happens.
Regards
Anna
