rgenoud for multiple chips: does a more recent special version of "snow" exist?

Dear everyone,

I am trying to run rgenoud on several chips simultaneusly. I used the
instructions provided on Jasjeet Sekhon's Homepage
(http://sekhon.berkeley.edu/rgenoud/multiple_cpus.html).

However, I have the newer version of R (R 2.12) installed - for a
64-bit machine. So, when I tried to install the special version of
"snow" from a zip file provided by Jasjeet on his page, R did not
allow me to install it (from a zip file) because it was created before
R 2.10.

Does anyone know if a more updated special version of "snow" exists -
that could be used on R 2.12?
Or maybe there is another way of running rgenoud on several chips
simultaneously?

Thanks a lot!

Just a small correction: the package "snow" does install. But once I
try to load it:
library(snow),
I get an error:
Error: package 'snow' was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install it

Yes, type

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)

and it will update to your R version from your favourite CRAN mirror.

Best,
