To further explain Kui's post, this suggests configure did not find an
MPI compiler.  In addition to the environment variables in Kui's
recipe, one can also pass the --with-mpi=/path/to/mpi if all your mpi
wrapper scripts live in one directory (for example,
if installed to /soft/apps/mpich2-1.3.1/bin/mpicc , you would pass
--with-mpi=/soft/apps/mpich2-1.3.1 )
