[Rd] Rmpi segfault after install on Ubuntu Hardy Heron

[Mark Kimpel]

I just installed Rmpi on my 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy Heron OS and using the
following without errors:
"R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.5-5.tar.gz --configure-args=--with-mpi=/usr/lib64/openmpi"

Immediately at library(Rmpi) I get the segfault displayed in my
complete output below. My first thought is that perhaps I used the
wrong library for openmpi, but with my 64 bit install it seemed like a
logical choice and the install went without a hitch.

Two other general comments:
1. Am I addressing this to the correct list or should I use R-help? As
I read the posting guide, I'm not sure.
2. Has anyone considered an R-SIG-HPC list? Anyone besides me interested?
