This is a configuration error, try install.pacakges("Rmpi",
dependencies=TRUE, configure.args="--with-mpi=/folder/with/mpiheaders").

rsprng is listed as 'Suggests' for both Rmpi and snow, so don't need to
be installed for successful Rmpi or snow installation.
Your message in the next post is that
> library(Rmpi)
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared library '/opt/R/lib64/R/library/Rmpi/libs/Rmpi.so':
libmpi.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error in library(Rmpi) : .First.lib failed for 'Rmpi'
Error in dyn.unload(file.path(libpath, "libs", paste("Rmpi",
.Platform$dynlib.ext, :
dynamic/shared library '/opt/R/lib64/R/library/Rmpi/libs/Rmpi.so' was not
loaded
This is a run-time error, and is because your mpi installation has not
registered the location of the shared object libraries (or has not been
compiled as a shared object?) correctly. See the system command
'ldconfig', or as a workaround launch R with something like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libmpifolder R
I'm guessing that path is /usr/lib64/openmpi/1.2.7-gcc/lib, but I didn't
look carefully enough at your solution to installing Rmpi to know for sure.
For more help, try the R-sig-HPC mailing list, for instance Hao Yu's
