That's a very old version of openmpi!  It was released December 2007
and I guess is missing some MPI-2.2 features.

for the sake of compatibility, pnetcdf should detect this at configure
time and do something clever.

For the sake of your sanity (because there are a decade of bug fixes
and performance improvements) I would strongly encourage you to upgrade
your MPI implementation.
