[R] Problem installing Rmpi with Open MPI

[Linh Tran]

Thank you for the advice. I tried using the command, and it still 
wouldn't load.

I tried uninstalling all of the MPI interfaces, reinstalled openmpi 
using the "--enabled-shared --disable-dlopen" command, and Rmpi was able 
to install sucessfully inside R.

Thank you to Prof Ripley for pointing that out! I think it was shared 
and dlopen options that kept preventing me from succeeding.
