I believe I've already done that.  The script the launches everything is
(all one line originally)
R_PROFILE_USER=~/KHC/sunbelt/Rmpiprofile \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ross/install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
PATH=/home/ross/install/bin:$PATH orterun -x R_PROFILE_USER -x
LD_LIBRARY_PATH -x PATH -hostfile ~/KHC/sunbelt/hosts \
-np 7 R --no-save  -q

There is a complication with R; it sticks stuff in front of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  However, the startup script Rmpiprofile  fixes that,
though I'm not entirely sure that is effective.  However, the old
libraries that are being loaded are not from any directories R added to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH; instead they are from /usr/lib, which is a standard
place for the dynamic loader to look.

No batch system (see script above for launch mechanism). We threw a lot
of stuff MPI configure was looking for onto the system.  AFAIK torque
isn't even installed.

One possible issue is that the Rmpi module for R is not compiled by
mpicc; R has its own notions of proper options for the compiler and its
own infrastructure for building things.  I did  pass the location of my
local libraries into the build process.

This seems more like an issue with the dynamic loader, or with whatever
system R is using when it loads Rmpi.so.
