In keeping with the vagueness of the posting, I can contribute my experience that installing Rmpi on a cluster is in general not trivial. You potentially have to ensure that your are using the correct combination of compiler and MPI implementation to build the packages and then ensure that the environment is correspondingly set up for the jobs you submit to the cluster. I would maintain that installing Rmpi should normally be done by the cluster administrator and the he/she should then be able to provide the users with the information about how to use it.
