What version of BLCR are you using? What other configure options are you passing to Open MPI? Specifically the configure test will always fail if '--with-ft=cr' is not specified - by default Open MPI will only build the BLCR component if C/R FT is requested by the user.
Can you send a zip'ed up config.log to the list, that might show something that the configure is missing?
