I cannot manage to install Rmpi_0.5-3 ... using the regular "Rshell" install.packages("Rpmi")
I followed the advice of Martin to run the shell install command and specify the location of mpi (located in "/usr/lib64/lam/" on my machine) That is : R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-mpi=/usr/lib64/lam" R/Rmpi_0.5-3.tar.gz But still get the following error * Installing *source* package 'Rmpi' ... Try to find mpi.h ... Found in /usr/include/lam Try to find libmpi or libmpich ... checking for main in -lmpi... no libmpi not found. exiting... ERROR: configuration failed for package 'Rmpi' ** Removing '/usr/lib64/R/library/Rmpi' Is there anything I do wrong, or any advice on what to check to figure out the source of my problem?
