I think you're going to run into issues with the above scheme.
In particular, if you have both the 1.2.6 and 1.3.3 libraries in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then the *first* libmpi.so (etc.) is going to be used
-- i.e., the 1.2.6 version. This is just the way Linux works -- it
can't know that you want the 2nd libmpi.so (or 3rd or 4th or ...); it
always just takes the first matching library that it finds.

Note that typing "$PATH" at a shell prompt is not a valid command,
which is why you're getting the error message. I think you want "echo
$PATH". Ditto for "echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH".
To get info, I have to command
$ /opt/bin/ompi_info
which reports correctly.
$ ompi_info
reports about previous installation of 1.2.6 version (intel).
Correct. There is deep mojo involved here; I can explain it all if
you care, but the *easiest* solution is just to have one Open MPI in
your PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH at a time. A common mechanism that people
use is a software package called "modules" that allows simple
switching of your run-time environment. For example:
shell$ module load ompi/1.2.6
shell$ ompi_info
...shows the correct output for 1.2.6
shell$ module unload ompi
shell$ module load ompi/1.3.3
shell$ ompi_info
...shows the correct output for 1.3.3
Check out modules -- http://modules.sf.net/ -- and see if that helps
you.
If you want further explanations, let me know, but it gets a bit
complicated. :-)
