Dear Brain
Thatks for yuor answer.

Follow your advice I've already recompiled lam mpi using --enable-shared
--disable-static option

And setup

exprot LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib (where there is a libmpi.a and

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 777 2006-05-09 15:26 libmpi.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-05-09 15:26 libmpi.so ->
libmpi.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-05-09 15:26 libmpi.so.0 ->
libmpi.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 828225 2006-05-09 15:26 libmpi.so.0.0.0

But when try to install
Rmpi with R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.5-2.tar.gz

The next error apair

checking mpi.h presence... yes
checking for mpi.h... yes
Try to find libmpi or libmpich ...
checking for main in -lmpi... no
libmpi not found. exiting...
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'Rmpi'
** Removing '/usr/local/lib64/R/library/Rmpi'

Some idea?
