R does that at the end of the 'R CMD INSTALL pkg' command.  If R does not
complain, it worked.

You seem to have lifted extensively from the existing package "pdbMPI". It
would be preferabl if you could adjust its logging output (eg via configure)
to refer to your package.

There are many other MPI-using packages on CRAN you could study too.
