Ehm, parmetis is *only* looking into the standard include path + some
local dirs. There is no "mpi.h" in /usr/include, even if the symlink
exists. Either you need to add /usr/include/openmpi to the include path
or try to include openmpi/mpi.h (which sounds b0rken) (ie add
-I/usr/include/openmpi and everything should be fine).
