[R] Install Rmpi on Fedora with mpich2 installed.

[vittorio]

I don't know Fedora but you should have installed the dev(-elopment) packages 
too (like mpich-dev or similar for instance). Usually under unixes those 
supplementary packages contain all the header files such as mpi.h  needed to 
compile a C program.
