[R] Rmpi Segmentation fault

[hpbenton at scripps.edu]

Dear all,

I have used the Rmpi package many times before however this time I've
installed it as I always do with openMPI tar.gz file direct from the
website. I'm installing on my ubuntu 8.10, R version 2.8.1.
Linux 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

All i get is:
> library(Rmpi)
Segmentation fault
:~$
Which dumps me back into the shell, and doens't give me much to work with.
I've included my install of Rmpi that went fine as far as I could see. Is
this a openMPI problem or Rmpi or even an R problem? Any help would be
great. Also is there a way beside 'make test' to test my install of
openMPI?

Cheers,

Paul
