There is also C++ and Fortran support, while the C++ interface is deprecated as the C one will do here too. > Thanks in advance for any info that you can give me; I really like the idea > to use MPI for scientific applications, but I am totally new to this (I have > experience in C++ on Windows, and a bit of Objective-C on mac).

Can you issue: $ ompi_info on the command line? As MPI is a standard which is not targeting any specific platform, most of the tutorials should apply here too, as long as they don't access any OS specific functions.
