Hi all,

I have a problem with installation of Rmpi on my account at the hpc. I've
tried to install Rmpi with different ways, but unfortunately I couldn't
achieve it.

OS of hpc is Scientific Linux v5.2 64 bit. Installed version of openMPI is
1.2.8. I have R 2.15.1 installed on my home folder. And I have no access to
the root.

When searching the web, I saw that before installing Rmpi, I should modify
LD_LIBRARY_PATH  to include the path to the Open MPI libraries. I checked
/usr/lib64 folder of the hpc. There is no folder called openmpi. So I think
that there is no default link to OpenMPI libraries on the system.

If admins run *Idconfig /usr/lib64/openmpi/lib/*, could I install Rmpi
properly after indicating the path to openmpi lib?


Moreover, there are many other users who are working on the system and
using openmpi. Will this command run affect them?


Also I have to say that almost everything (Linux, HPC, parallel R...) is
new to me. I hope that my questions and thoughts aren't nonsense.


Thanks in advance for any advice.
