Dirk, Configure concluded without errors. I am not running this on the HPC cluster with icc, rather a separate local box used for testing and learning. Its just an 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 install on a 4-core machine. LAM is not installed (I checked to make sure).
So, that leaves me with you last two options. Before I make my first foray into using the R-debugger, I'd like to try you suggestion to "Check ldd on Rmpi.so" but don't have a clue how to do so. Could you instruct me? Thanks to all for the helpful comments.
