Where did you get 0.5-6 from? The newest, per the author's website, is 0.5-5.

At this point you have mpi.h and libmpi. Looks good.

It all compiles, thanks to mpi.h.

This seems to indicate that your installation of Open MPI conflicts with your
setting of 
        export MPI_ROOT=/usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/
as this directory is expected to contain include/ and lib/

| R CMD INSTALL  Rmpi_0.5-6.tar.gz

| with the same results.

I'd recommend having a look at configure.ac, which is pretty straightforward,
and 'helping' it with the locations you have. I had to do the same for
Debian's Rmpi due to use also having mpich and lam.
