Dear all,

I managed to install successfully Rmpi 0.5-5 on a quad opteron machine (8
cores overall) running on OpenSUSE 11.0 and Open MPI 1.5.2.

this is what I get

> library(Rmpi)

Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in
lower performance.

        1 slaves are spawned successfully. 0 failed.
master (rank 0, comm 1) of size 2 is running on: gauss
slave1 (rank 1, comm 1) of size 2 is running on: gauss

as you can see, just 1 cpu per session (2 cores) is recognized and used.

and this is the content of my etc/conf.dat

OpenIB-cma u1.2 nonthreadsafe default libdaplcma.so.1 dapl.1.2 "ib0 0" ""

I have searched the archives and found that the following suggestion was
given for a similar problem:

> Open MPI has Infiniband module compiled but there is no IB device found

> line.

Since I am not calling mpi directly but through Rmpi  I do not know where to
put that flag, I might contact the Rmpi mantainer, in any case, I would be
grateful if you had further suggestions.

Thank you very much,

Simone
