So if you complaint is that the package is too old ... you could get the package sources and build yourself a newer one locally. | 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! Yes, 'apt-get build-dep foo' is a good trick. Another I like (and use on Ubuntu) is 'apt-get source foo' -- with an additonal deb-src entry pointing to Debian unstable. That way you can get newest packages in source and then built them into a deb locally. | Thanks a lot Dirk for those nice r-cran packages!
