Seems to me that your local installation is missing a 
devel-package(=,Cannot find mpi header file) don't know exactly what 
package to look for, though!



Why don't you use the wonderful packages of Dirk Edenbüttel ? You can 
install them smoothly by "apt-get install <package-name>"??

Maybe 'apt-cache search mpi' will be a step forward.....

or did you read the install instructions of Rmpi, especially the part 
on dependencies. Mostly there are some information on what packages 
have to be installed before starting to compile Rmpi package.
