[Rd] Rmpi segfault after install on Ubuntu Hardy Heron

[Mark Kimpel]

Dirk,

Did R CMD ldd $R_HOME/library/Rmpi/libs/Rmpi.so as suggested and
things looked okay. Not really wanting to mess with the debugger I
decided to use your prepackaged version. I completely uninstalled all
openmpi packages on my system using Synaptic and deleted my compiled
from source Rmpi from my site-library. Then I executed "sudo apt-get
install r-cran-rmpi" and things seemed to go smoothly. I put a soft
link from the library aptitude installed Rmpi into to my
~/R_HOME/site-library. I get exactly the same error as before. Does
the minimal debugging info below "options(error = recover) provide any
insight?  Mark
