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 checking for openpty in -lutil... no checking for main in -lpthread... no configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating src/Makevars ** libs gcc -m64 -std=gnu99 -I/usr/include/R -DNDEBUG -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -I/usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.6.3/include/ -DMPI2 -DOPENMPI -I/usr/local/include -fpic -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -c Rmpi.c -o Rmpi.o Rmpi.c: In Funktion »mpi_bcast«: 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.
