Hi R Gurus. I'm trying to install the Rmpi package. Here are the errors: checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking mpi.h usability... no checking mpi.h presence... no checking for mpi.h... no Try to find libmpi or libmpich ... checking for main in -lmpi... no libmpi not found. exiting... ERROR: configuration failed for package 'Rmpi' ** Removing '/home/Desktop/R-2.5.1/library/Rmpi' The downloaded packages are in /tmp/Rtmp90H1Vp/downloaded_packages Warning messages: 1: installation of package 'rsprng' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages("Rmpi", depend = T) 2: installation of package 'Rmpi' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages("Rmpi", depend = T) I'm thinking that there might be things like "MPI_HOME" or something like to be set, maybe? Thanks for any help. Edna Bell mailto: edna.bell01 at gmail.com

Rmpi seems to like LAM/MPI, in particular the older version 7.1.1. I've had problems with newer releases 7.1.2 to 7.1.4. On Debian or Ubuntu, 'apt-get install r-cran-rmpi' will install rmpi (and all required dependencies) for you.
