[Not really related to sequencing, per se, but ... :-)]

Since Rmpi is hosted on CRAN[1], you can install it with similar ease.  
Fire up R and:

R> install.packages('Rmpi', type='source')

At that point, you will (probably) be asked to select a cran mirror,  
so do so and let it rip.

You can also (probably) exclude the `type='source'`, but it won't  
hurt.  This should work assuming you have a sane build environment on  
your linux box (eg. gcc, make, etc).

HTH,
