This is really an R-devel topic. But,
- Rmpi only suggests rsprng, and you are unlikely to need it.
- sprng2.0b.tar.gz builds from the sources without problem on Fedora
12, and then rsprng installs. See
http://sprng.fsu.edu/Version2.0/quick-start.html .

When I try to install Rmpi, it has a dependency rsprng which, as its
description says: Provides interface to SPRNG 2.0 APIs
I installed it on Mepis by installing the appropriate debs with
minimal drama. In the rpm world of Fedora, no such luxury.
Installing rsprng fails because:
checking sprng.h usability... no
checking sprng.h presence... no
checking for sprng.h... no
Cannot find sprng 2.0 header file.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rsprng’
So, in my hunt for such, I went here: http://sprng.cs.fsu.edu/
The newest version is Version 4 which doesn't supply any sprng 2.0, so
I tried Version 2, but it looks as though it's not been updated for 10
years and the instructions don't quite fit the names of the files.
For whatever reason, make fails but the instructions for dealing with
such don't match the file names so I couldn't work out what needed
changing.
Is there somewhere else I should be looking for an sprng 2.0 header
file?
