As the posting guide asked, please discuss this with the maintainer. He knows about this.

In short: Rmpi does not work if OpenMPI was compiled to dynamically load extensions, which is nowadays the default installation. If your OpenMPI is >= 1.5 (and for some installs of 1.4.x) you will need to install it from the sources disabling dlopen.

Hi guys,

I've spent a few days trying to install Rmpi with no luck. I originally
tried using mpich, moved on to mpich2, and then to openmpi. I've gotten
the furthest with openmpi, though am still running into this problem and
can't figure it out. Can someone help!? Thanks so much in advanced.

I'm using an HP Envy laptop with Ubuntu 12.04. Output is below, with the
error at the bottom.
