Hi Guys and Girls,

I hope this is the right place to ask... I am running R
(www.r-project.org) with Simple Network Of Workstations with LAM/MPI
(v6.5.9) on a cluster, say 20 nodes times 24 hours each, everything
working fine after the sysop installed LAM for me. This R with SNOW work
only with LAM, just as some Octave packages.

All clusters I (may) have access to have MPICH installed and configured,
but no LAM/MPI, so my question is: How can I install LAM within a job
(PBS or JDL) and configure it just as MPICH. Eventually I'd like to
submit a job which first installs LAM, next configures it the same way
as MPICH, install R and more, and last but not least does the real work.

All hints tips and tricks are welcomed by
Frans Verster
