I recommend
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmpi
which gets you Rmpi 0.5-8 (via Debian testing, or via Debian unstable, or via
the cran2dep repository). It is always the same versions 0.5-8.
Thanks for the prompt answer! Sorry, forgot to precise the important point that I'm using Ubuntu... $apt-cache show r-cran-rmpi Package: r-cran-rmpi Priority: optional Section: universe/math Installed-Size: 1016 Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu at lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd at debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Source: rmpi Version: 0.5-7-3build2 so it is still version 0.5-7, and it looks like R is complaining it want a pkg compiled against 2.11... Actually, I found a solution, which was to install also dependencies: sudo apt-get build-dep r-cran-rmpi and then finally the command: sudo R CMD INSTALL Rmpi --configure-args=--with-mpi=/usr/lib/openmpi worked, so I could install it! Thanks a lot Dirk for those nice r-cran packages! Matthieu

If you want to install from source, read the README in the sources and install the relevant packages which are missing here (as indicated by the missing mpi.h).
