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?
Thank you for your help
