[Rd] Rmpi on CentOS (64bit)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

There are many different versions of OpenMPI about.  It looks like you 
have one that is set up for specialized hardware.  Either this is the 
wrong version or a configuration error, and you will need to talk to 
your 'local System Administrator'.

Incidentally, you should not have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I 
frequently have had to add configuration files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, 
including for openmpi on Fedora 12. On Fedora 10 (but not 12) MPI was 
under the /etc/alternatives mechanism, and had other problems.  I 
currently have

gannet% cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openmpi-x86_64.conf
/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib

on F12.
