[R] Trouble with installing Rmpi package

[Tena Sakai]

Hi,

I made a bit of progress.  I went to open-mpi.org and downloaded
mpi software and installed it, which went smoothly.  Then I re-
Executed
 > install.packages( 'Rmpi' )
which worked, except this time it complained about rsprng.  I went
to sprng.cs.fsu.edu and downloaded sprng4 and tried installing it.
 .configure
went fine, but make failed.  Here's the the failure:

mpif77 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include   -I../../include
-DSPRNG_MPI -g -O2 -c -o sprngf_simple_mpi_tmp-sprngf-simple_mpi.o `test -f
'sprngf-simple_mpi.F' || echo './'`sprngf-simple_mpi.F
mpif77  -g -O2   -o sprngf-simple_mpi.tmp --showme:link -I/usr/local/include
-pthread sprngf_simple_mpi_tmp-sprngf-simple_mpi.o -L../../lib -lsprng -lm
-lstdc++ -lm
-g -O2 -o sprngf-simple_mpi.tmp -I/usr/local/include -pthread
sprngf_simple_mpi_tmp-sprngf-simple_mpi.o -L../../lib -lsprng -lm -lstdc++
-lm -pthread -L/usr/local/lib -lmpi_f77 -lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -ldl
-Wl,--export-dynamic -lnsl -lutil -lm -ldl
mv: cannot stat `sprng-simple_mpi.tmp': No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [sprng_mpi_test] Error 1

I issued:
 > library( 'Rmpi' )
which didn't complain.  I don't want to ignore the failure of rsprng package
install, however.

Can somebody please assist me as to how I can get sprng4 installed?

Thank you.
