Thanks for the prompt answer! Sorry, forgot to precise the important 
point that I'm using Ubuntu...

$apt-cache show r-cran-rmpi
Package: r-cran-rmpi
Priority: optional
Section: universe/math
Installed-Size: 1016
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu at lists.ubuntu.com>
Original-Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd at debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Source: rmpi
Version: 0.5-7-3build2

so it is still version 0.5-7, and it looks like R is complaining it want 
a pkg compiled against 2.11...

Actually, I found a solution, which was to install also dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep r-cran-rmpi

and then finally the command:

sudo R CMD INSTALL Rmpi --configure-args=--with-mpi=/usr/lib/openmpi


worked, so I could install it!

Thanks a lot Dirk for those nice r-cran packages!
