Yes. You need MPI library and binaries before proceeding with Rmpi. On Ubuntu 9.04 - $ aptitude show r-cran-rmpi [...] Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libopenmpi1, r-base-core (>= 2.8.0), openmpi-bin Suggests: r-cran-rsprng Description: GNU R package interfacing MPI libraries for distributed computing This CRAN package provides an interface to the MPI (Message-Passing Interface) API. It also provides an interactive R slave environment in which distributed statistical computing can be carried out. [...] I'd recommend OpenMPI over LAM/MPI as the latter is a bit outdated [1] [1] LAM/MPI is now in a maintenance mode. Bug fixes and critical patches are still being applied, but little real "new" work is happening in LAM/MPI. This is a direct result of the LAM/MPI Team spending the vast majority of their time working on our next-generation MPI implementation -- Open MPI. -- Regards, Ishwor Gurung ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
