Dirk, Did R CMD ldd $R_HOME/library/Rmpi/libs/Rmpi.so as suggested and things looked okay. Not really wanting to mess with the debugger I decided to use your prepackaged version. I completely uninstalled all openmpi packages on my system using Synaptic and deleted my compiled from source Rmpi from my site-library. Then I executed "sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmpi" and things seemed to go smoothly. I put a soft link from the library aptitude installed Rmpi into to my ~/R_HOME/site-library. I get exactly the same error as before. Does the minimal debugging info below "options(error = recover) provide any insight? Mark
