Dear all,
I am trying to execute the simple example in snowfall
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/snowfall/vignettes/snowfall.pdf ...
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. It has a dual core
processor, and is not networked.
I would be greatful if someone could tell me how to proceed.
Follow the posting guide (see the footer of this message) and talk to the
maintainer of 'snowfall'. Most likely it is not intended to be used on
Windows, but has not declared that. 'whoami' and 'uname' are Unix
programs, not Windows ones, but R's Sys.info() provides equivalent
information.
Kind regards
