Rmpi and OpenMPI
Rmpi may not be installed properly. During installation, check if you get the flags -DMPI2 and -DOPENMPI. The first flag indicates MPI 2 is supported. The second flag indicates that Rmpi finds OPENMPI mpi. In your case, probably -DMPI2 is missed and MPICH is chosen. Try install Rmpi with --configure-args=--with-mpi=/mpipath. Make sure to modify R to include a line at beginning like LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/OMPI/gnu/ Hao

Hi,
I have recently installed Rmpi using OpenMPI, but I receive some wired
errors at run time . For example, when I use "orterun R --vanilla
--interactive" for interactive mode, then call mpi.universe.size()
function,
I receive this error: "This function is not supported under MPI 1.2".
While,
OpenMPI should be based on MPI-2. As another example, after calling
mpi.spawn.Rslaves(), I recieve : "You cannot use MPI_Comm_spawn API".
Moreover, when I try make a cluster using snow, I receive:
Error in mpi.comm.spawn(slave = mpitask, slavearg = args, nslaves = count,
:
MPI_Comm_spawn is not supported.
Calls: makeCluster -> switch -> makeMPIcluster -> mpi.comm.spawn
Please be informed that linked libraries to Rmpi.so are as follows:

Please also be informed that MPICH and LAM/MPI are also installed on our
system. Is it possible that there is a confusion between different MPI
implementations? In this case, what is the solution.
I highly appreciate your kind attention.
