Hello, I am not a linux expert, so maybe this question shows my ignorance. I have installed openSUSE 11.1 on a dual processor machine (64 bit, HP xw6400), and I have installed openmpi (all files reside in /usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi). I compiled R (2.8.1) from sources successfully without setting any additional parameters. However, I am unable to install Rmpi: install.packages("Rmpi") gives 

Checking for mpi.h usability. no

Checking for mpi.h presence. no

Checking for mpi.h. no

Try to find libmpi.so or libmpich.a

Checking for main in -lmpi. no

Libmpi not found. Exiting.

 

However, mpi.h is present in /usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/include and libmpi.so is a link to libmpi.so.0.0.0 in /usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64. Could anyone help me a bit to convince R that openmpi is installed? Thanks, Ruud
