No, both of you are not doing it correctly - you are confused about
linker problem with runtime issue. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a runtime
flag. You want to set the linker flag to influence the linker behavior:
setenv LDFLAGS="-L$prefix/lib -L$prefix/lib64"
or edit the makefile or Makevars do the equivalent with PKG_LDFLAGS
in the Rmpi package.
BTW, the syntax for using LD_LIBRARY_PATH is also wrong - to use it the
way it is intended, you need:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$prefix/lib:$prefix/lib64"
