[StarCluster] StarCluster Digest, Vol 66, Issue 7

[Philip Montgomery]

I don't recall seeing any network errors, but I do regularly install R on
top of starcluster AMIs.   I have gotten errors trying to update packages,
I'm guessing because the last ubuntu release that there's starcluster AMIs
(13.04) for is no longer supported by ubuntu.  So, I use the AMI for ubuntu
12.04 as my starting point.

Attached is a script that I run which installs R and the various packages
that I use.  I then image the instance to a new AMI so that I don't need to
repeat the process ever time a node comes online.

Not entirely clear if the problem you're getting is one I've hit, but
sending along my script in case it happens to help.

Thanks,
Phil
