[R-sig-hpc] Problems Installing Rmpi

[Hao Yu]

Rick,

I noticed you were using mpicc. If mpicc is from
/usr/lib64/openmpi/1.2.7-gcc, then it knows where to find mpi.h and other
header files. Maybe mpicc is not setting properly and it appends mpi.h to
include.  You might try CC to gcc instead of mpicc. If it fails, then as
Dirk suggested, Ubuntu is the way to go.
