Cannot install hdf5r - libmpifort.so.12 can't be located

[gavin5325]

Context: I'm on a linux-based HPC. The version of R I'm using is 4.4.0 and the version of RStudio I'm using is 2024-12.0-467

I need to install hdf5r as it is a dependency for velocyto.R. Since I'm on HPC, I've loaded the HDF5 (and other relevant modules) as such on RStudio:

source('/usr/share/Modules/init/r.R') module('load', 'hdf5/1.12.2') module('load', 'intel-mpi/2021.7.1') module('load', 'boost/1.80.0') install.packages('withr')

However, every time I install hdf5r either using install.packages("hdf5r") or install_local, it gives me the following error:

`** installing vignettes
** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘hdf5r’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
unable to load shared object '/home/myid/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.4/00LOCK-hdf5r/00new/hdf5r/libs/hdf5r.so':
libmpi.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error: loading failed

ERROR: loading failed

• removing ‘/home/myid/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.4/hdf5r’
  Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘/pathto/hdf5r’ had non-zero exit status`

I believe libmpi.so.12 is found in the intel-mpi module. So what is going on? How should I fix this?

P.S. For obvious privacy reasons, I've replaced some parts of the paths above. They are bolded for clarity.
