require(snow) require(snowfall) sfInit( parallel=TRUE, cpus=2 ) sfLapply( 1:10, exp ) sfStop() I have installed the snow and snowfall packages in R on a machine with windows xp, however, after running the "sfInit( parallel=TRUE, cpus=2 )" line I get an error ... Error in system("whoami", intern = TRUE, ignore.stderr = TRUE) : whoami not found Error in paste(sep = "_", "XXXXXXXXR", uname, format(Sys.time(), "%H%M%S_%m%d%y")) : object "uname" not found I am the only (administrator) user of the computer.
