[OMPI users] OpenMPI build fails with "undefined reference to symbol 'opal_cmd_line_get_usage_msg'"

[Alex Margolin]

Hi,

I tried to unpack and build version 1.4.4 and run into a rare error, and I 
didn't find any mention of it online.
I know I shouldn't run autogen.sh (builds OK without it) unless I have a new 
MCA component, but this is the case here, so...
Does anyone else experience such errors (the command I ran appears at the 
bottom)?
Any tips on how to solve or get around it?

Thanks,
Alex

I've tried other versions and got the same error, so I have to assume 
the local software has something to do with it,
so I've gathered the version information of everything that seemed 
relevat (I'm running a fully updated Ubuntu 11.10):
