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?

Please help,

--polemon
