No, I only loaded the library on the local node (master).

However, I'm not sure how I should do so. If I simply start up R on the
remote hosts and load up the library, I presume this would not be any use,
since the master spawns its own R slaves?

So, the question would be how to get the R slaves to load up the library
and I don't see any obvious way of doing this (using snow functions).

I must be missing something. Do I need to work at a lower level?

Thanks for replying.
