care to send me some big working example R onmultiprocessor systems

Hi Deb,
I was NOT trying to suggest that you mandatorily need DeinoMPI. However,
afaik either MPICHII *OR* DeinoMPI is required for Rmpi under Windows.
Please note that there are two versions of the Rmpi package, depending on
if you use MPICHII or DeinoMPI. Although the aim is parallel computing, I
doubt that it is a good idea to run these two in parallel ;-)
Anyway, you should follow Hao's advice and first make sure Rmpi is working
properly on its own. Please try some of the simple Rmpi examples to see if
they work and let me know the result.

PS: As for the configuration of DeinoMPI, I have to admit that I never got
a true multi-machine Rmpi session working. Although I could include remote
machines in DeinoMPI, in R Rmpi-slaves were exclusively spawned locally. I
didn't try MPICHII at all, but resorted to Ubuntu-Linux, where everything
went much smoother.
