<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi, I am trying to install Rcppoctave from R with install.packages('RcppOctave') without success.<br><br>My OS is Ubuntu 13.10. R version 3.0.2, Octave version 3.8.0 (Octave is compiled from source with prefix=/usr/local)<br><br>I have tried installing hdf5 with mpi (libhdf5-mpi-dev, libhdf5-openmpi-dev and libhdf5-openmpi-7 from repository ) and without mpi (libhdf5-dev and libhdf5-7 from repository) and in both cases RcppOctave would not install. <br><br>When libgdf5 is installed with mpi the install log shows "/usr/include/H5public.h:63:20: fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory" while without mpi it shows a different error. <br><br><br>I am attaching the installation log for both instances for further investigations.<br><br>Not sure if this is relevant, but when hdf5 is installed with mpi Octave needs to be recompiled with <br><br>export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mpi -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX"<br><br>Otherwise some octave-forge packages don't install.<br><br><a href="http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Error-installing-package-on-classdef-tip-td4658542.html#a4658460" target="_blank">http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Error-installing-package-on-classdef-tip-td4658542.html#a4658460</a><br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Bernard<br> </div></body>
