Hi,

I am trying to use the parallel computing cluster of our university. To that 
end, I would like to install the Rmpi package on the cluster. The R version 
currently installed on the cluster is 

R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) -- "Trick or Treat"
Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit)

I am trying to install the Rmpi package from the tar.gz source file, but 
encounter the following problem during the compilation process:

What I run within R is
install.packages("/home/myusername/Rpackages/Rmpi_0.6-5.tar.gz", repos = NULL, 
type = "source", lib = "/home/myusername/Rpackages/", 
configure.args=c("--with-Rmpi-libpath=/usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.6.3/lib64/","--with‌​-Rmpi-type=OPENMPI",
 "--with-Rmpi-include=/usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.6.3/include/"))

and I get the following output with an error message:

* installing *source* package ‘Rmpi’ ...
** Paket ‘Rmpi’ erfolgreich entpackt und MD5 Summen überprüft

Rmpi.c:605:2: Fehler: unbekannter Typname: »R_xlen_t«
make: *** [Rmpi.o] Fehler 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘Rmpi’

I can not quite figure out what happens here, and what "unknown type name 
"R_xlen_t"" possibly refers to. 

Thanks in advance
