bootstrap_p Error in checkForRemoteErrors

[markrcosta]

Based on the stack overflow discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25561694/error-with-bootstrap-function-in-powerlaw?noredirect=1#comment39925932_25561694

Two examples of me trying to run the bootstrap_p function

bs_p<-bootstrap_p(deg_pl, xmins = deg_pl$xmin, pars = deg_pl$pars, no_of_sims = 1, threads = 1)
Error in checkForRemoteErrors(val) :   one node produced an error: could not find function "rpldis"

bs_p = bootstrap_p(deg_pl)
Error in checkForRemoteErrors(val) : 
  100 nodes produced errors; first error: could not find function "rpldis"

Sorry for the delay.

I can't reproduce this error. Could you provide example data?

install.packages("poweRlaw")
library(poweRlaw)
r = rexp(100)
deg_pl = conpl$new(r)
bootstrap_p(deg_pl, xmins = deg_pl$xmin, pars = deg_pl$pars, no_of_sims = 1, threads = 1)
