Hi Harini

Rangam is right.
Indeed there is even an FAQ specific for this:

http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path

By the way, the FAQ are the best documentation around.
The README file is also helpful.
Worth reading both, to avoid mistakes and waste of time.

If using bash on .profile or equivalent, add these lines:
export PATH=/my/path/to/openmpi/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/path/to/openmpi/lib:$PATH

If using [t]csh on .[t]cshrc add these lines:
setenv  PATH   /my/path/to/openmpi/bin:$PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /my/path/to/openmpi/lib:$PATH 

with your actual path to openmpi replaced above, of course.

I hope this helps,
Gus Correa
