It would be more convenient to use the environment variables, e.g. for Fedora I use

setenv RMPI_INCLUDE /usr/include/openmpi-x86_64
setenv RMPI_LIB_PATH /usr/lib64/openmpi/lib
setenv RMPI_TYPE OPENMPI

And 'brew' was not mentioned: you would need to install *that* first. But it is unnecessary: openmpi builds out of the box using the compilers used for R and needs no customizations.

I have had success in installing Rmpi on Mavericks, and it may be helpful
to others:

I first installed *gfortran* and *open-mpi*:
brew install gfortran

In view of another thread today, does that clobber other compilers in /usr/local?

brew install open-mpi

Then in R I installed Rmpi using this command:
*install.packages("Rmpi", type="source",
configure.args="with-mpi=/usr/local/opt/open-mpi")*

(The *configure.args* parameter got around the following error: "Cannot
find mpi.h header file".)

Please do read the posting guide and what it says about that.
