Hello Ralph, I finally solved the problem. My OS had installed another version of openmpi, which I removed. Also, I did not try 'make clean' before 'make'.
I found the problem by doing a verbose build of my application, and noticed that it was referring to libraries from /usr/lib64/mpi/, which was not correct. This was even when I had set the paths of mpic++ in my make file to /home/Morpheus/CustomInstalledPrograms/OpenMPI-1.4.2/ . I had set the paths of libraries and include files in my makefile to specifically point to my custom MPI installation. So, I am curious as to why open-mpi was trying to refer to libraries in /usr/lib64. I reinstalled everything fresh, and now it seems to work :) Thanks for your help.

It all certainly looks okay. Can you send the output from configure - should be in config.out? Did you do a "make clean" after your configure and before rebuilding OMPI?
