Without external package --with-mpi=0 works fine but then the external packages complain about it (no mpi specified). I tried to use and also modify the arch-cray-xt5-opt.py configure file but I did not go through it yet (Invalid mpiexec specified: /usr/common/acts/PETSc/3.0.0/bin/mpiexec.aprun). Instead of wasting time, I guess you guys will provide an answer pretty quickly.

   Satish,

    Why does --with-mpiexec have to be set on hopper? And why to this crazy location that may not always exist? Requiring the user to set this beast to some strange thing at configure time is not reasonable. We need a model that doesn't require strange knowledge like this.
