To bring closure to this thread, we found that the following simple patch to Rmpi/src/Rmpi.c fixes the problem:
--- rmpi-0.5-6.orig/src/Rmpi.c +++ rmpi-0.5-6/src/Rmpi.c @@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ else { #ifdef OPENMPI - dlopen("libmpi.so.0", RTLD_GLOBAL); + dlopen("libmpi.so.0", RTLD_GLOBAL | RTLD_LAZY); #endif #ifndef MPI2 The fix has been applied to Debian's package and should also be forthcoming in future releases of Rmpi. Big thanks to Jeff Squyres for patient help with the debugging.
