Hi

I have a few problems installing/updating packages with complicated dependencies. For example, the Rmpi package:

update.packages(...)
checking for mpi.h... no
configure: error: "Cannot find mpi.h header file"
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘Rmpi’

So I tried:

>install.packages("Rmpi",configure.args="--with-mpi=/usr/lib/openmpi")

Trying to find mpi.h ...
Cannot find mpi.h header file
Please use --with-mpi=/path/to/mpi or specify the environment variable MPI_ROOT

As well as:
$sudo R CMD INSTALL Rmpi --configure-args=--with-mpi
=/usr/lib64/openmpi

but get same error message... So it looks it is asking me what I thought precisely that I was doing (specifying the library)...

Should I do something more elaborate? I feel this was working before when I used the version from r-cran-*, nut now R 2.11 want the latest package to be installed... which seems no to be available on r-cran-*

Btw, when are usually the packages on r-cran updated? Are/Will they be updated for R 2.11? Thanks a lot for those very useful instalaltion facilities!!!
