Problem about config Rmpi with LAM on 64 bits

Hello Marce,

I can load version 0.5.6 as well as 0.5.5 of Rmpi without any problems 
on our cluster. My LAM installation is on a shared filesystem (although 
NFS), so this should really not be a problem. The only thing what is 
different is that I use R 2.8.0 patched and LAM version 7.1.3. I didn't 
upgrade to the new LAM yet.

Anyway, have you tried to to compile and run a simple MPI program? Is 
there a reason why you use R 2.6.2? Otherwise I would recommend to use 
the latest version of R.

Furthermore, I strongly recommend to use gfortran instead of g77 to 
compile LAM. I see from your laminfo output that you have

Fortran compiler: g77
Fortran symbols: double_underscore

whereas I have

Fortran compiler: gfortran
Fortran symbols: underscore

I typically call configure with these parameters:

./configure --enable-shared CC=gcc CXX=g++  FC=gfortran 
--prefix=/some/path/on/NFS_storage

Hope this helps.

Best,
Stefan
