[Rd] Installing Rmpi on 64-bit Linux Athlon

Hello,
We have recently added a 64-bit 2 x Dual-Core Athlon server running Red
Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 to allow for processing of large data
sets (>4GB) in R. To integrate this server into our Linux cluster, I
have been trying (unsuccessfully) to use Rmpi/lam-mpi to parallel
process some of our scripts. While I have successfully compiled R 2.4.0
and lam-mpi 7.1.2 on this server using a 64-bit architecture, I have not
been able to install Rmpi to interface with lam-mpi, despite success on
nearly identical servers in a 32-bit architecture. When trying on the
64-bit server, I receive the error "cannot find -lmpi" during
compilation (see below). 

If anyone has had success in this regards and notice an installation
problem that I may have overlooked, I would greatly appreciate any
advice. Note that because I do not have root access, all of the lam-mpi
and R files were installed locally.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

### Below is configuration scripts for R, Lam-MPI and Rmpi:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "-L$prefix/lib -L$prefix/lib64"
setenv prefix "/home/a347549/local64"

### R 2.4.0 Configure
./configure --prefix=$prefix --with-x
--with-tcl-config="$prefix/lib/tclConfig.sh"
--with-tk-config="$prefix/lib/tkConfig.sh"
--with-blas="-L$builddir/ATLAS/lib/Linux_HAMMER64SSE2_4 -lptf77blas
-lpthread -latlas"

### Lam-MPI 7.1.2 Configure:
./configure --prefix=$prefix --enable-shared --disable-static
--without-romio --with-rsh="ssh -xq"

### Rmpi INSTALL
R CMD INSTALL Rmpi --configure-args="--with-mpi=$prefix --prefix=$prefix
CC=mpicc" -l $R_LIBS
