| Ah right.  "update-alternatives --config mpi" should let you select

The Open MPI package recently fixed an oversight with respect to the C++
library.  Could you try the most recent one, ie 1.2.5-2, and see if that
works "out of the box" ?  "It should", we think we now have most things
ironed out with respect to the stand C library.

Thanks, Dirk
