Dear all, I managed to install successfully Rmpi 0.5-5 on a quad opteron machine (8 cores overall) running on OpenSUSE 11.0 and Open MPI 1.5.2.
this is what I get > library(Rmpi) [gauss:24207] mca: base: component_find: unable to open osc pt2pt: file not found (ignored) libibverbs: Fatal: couldn't read uverbs ABI version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [0,0,0]: OpenIB on host gauss was unable to find any HCAs.

Try to add "--mca btl ^openib" string to your command > line. Since I am not calling mpi directly but through Rmpi I do not know where to put that flag, I might contact the Rmpi mantainer, in any case, I would be grateful if you had further suggestions.
