Oh how interesting and I hope this helps someone. Following another link, I had to use:

./configure --prefix /usr --enable-shared --enable-static

when compiling this for Rmpi. Just curious, why isn't --enable-static a default option?

So I am now back on this full time as I need this to work. OpenMPI 1.4.3 is deadlocking with Rmpi and I need the latest code. I still get the exact same problem. I configured it with a --prefix=/usr to get it to install everything in default directories and added /usr/lib/openmpi to my ldconfig. I don't have a LD_LIBRARY_PATH global variable on ubuntu 11.10.

Notice that the libRmpi actually does compile but can't be installed. Other than the --prefix option I added nothing new to the ./configure script. It now knows by default where everything should be and I think I have every required package installed. Anyone have any ideas? Do you need any other files attached?

Thanks,
~Ben

Looks like you didn't set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to where OMPI was installed, so the individual component libs couldn't be loaded. From the below, it looks like you need to add /usr/local to your path.

Hi All,

I am on ubuntu 11.10 and the only package that they have for OpenMPI is 1.4.3 and I noticed the latest was 1.5.5 and I decided to try to use it to get the Rmpi R package compiled against it. I failed. My R version is 2.15, the OpenMPI is 1.5.5. I compiled it and installed it but when I tried to compile Rmpi I get the result below. I can try to run this stuff again but I had to use the base packages because they worked and I need to get some stuff done. I can always recompile though, install and run the Rmpi package against the installed OpenMPI stuff. Any ideas what I need to do? Also, is there an Ubuntu or Debian package available with the latest and greatest and if not, how can I make one?

Thanks,
~Ben

It looks like opal_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during opal_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):
