Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Rmpi package

Dear Both,

OK.
Try 
install.packages("Rmpi") 


I have done it previously (but I did not tell here),it did not work since it 
has no binary just a source.

I have done sudo R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.6-4.tar at terminal too, and I got this 
message:
......

checking for mpi.h... no
configure: error: "Cannot find mpi.h header file"
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'Rmpi',

My mistake was I did not google it. Only search from r-sig-mac archives.

Now I am googling it and found some information (from R-sig-Debian and R-help 
archives ) that I need to give it a try.

MPI isn't the easiest build in the world so I'd imagine it will fail, but this 
will at least give us a sense of how your environment is configured. 

Needless to say: if you haven't got the compilers and command line tools 
available from XCode (the ones used to build R) do that first 

I think, I already installed the Xcode, following the instruction from here: 
(choose Rmpi for Mac OS X) 
http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/yu/Rmpi/
Because the Mountain Lion’s default PATH is 
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin, then --I think-- I need to change 
the path if I want to install Homebrew. On the other hand my current R is 
at/usr/bin. Which made me not sure what should I do.

or you have no hope ;-)
Let me try the information that I found from google and get back here if I 
still have a trouble.


Prof. Winsemius: My apologise for that ... 

Thank you very much.

With kind regards,
Ema

As David noted, it's been de-CRAN'd for pushing some check times a bit far. 

This means you'll likely need to build it from source, which home brew won't 
help with (well, much beyond what 'regular' R does)

Try 

install.packages("Rmpi") 

to see what happens. MPI isn't the easiest build in the world so I'd imagine it 
will fail, but this will at least give us a sense of how your environment is 
configured. 

Needless to say: if you haven't got the compilers and command line tools 
available from XCode (the ones used to build R) do that first or you have no 
hope ;-)
