Hello, I plan to use R with my cluster with OpenMPI. I need the packaged 'snow' and 'Rmpi' for that, however, I get an error while downloading and installing them: When I do a: install.packages("Rmpi", dependencies=T)
I get this error: checking for mpi.h... no Try to find libmpi.so or libmpich.a checking for main in -lmpi... no libmpi not found. exiting... However, mpi.h is present via the openmpi-devel package on my RHEL 5.3. Some of those packages need sprng 2.0 (rsprng, for instance, which is a dependency for another MPI-related package). Sprng 2.0, however, isn't in developement for years, I wonder how I am supposed to keep my software up to date... Any ideas on how to workaround that mpi.h problem?
