We have occasionally had a problem like this when we set LD_LIBRARY_PATH only. 
On OSX you may need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead ( set it to the same lib 
directory )

Can you try that and see if it resolves the problem?

I do have these two environment variables set:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/meredithk/tools/openmpi/lib
PATH=/Users/meredithk/tools/openmpi/bin

Running mpirun seems to work fine with a simple command, like hostname:

$ )mpirun -n 2 hostname
meredithk-mac.corp.fmglobal.com
meredithk-mac.corp.fmglobal.com

I am trying to run the simple hello_cxx example from the openmpi distribution, 
compiled as such:
mpic++ -g    hello_cxx.cc   -o hello_cxx

It compiles fine, without warning or error.  However, when I go to run the 
example, it stalls on the MPI::Init() command:
mpirun -np 1 hello_cxx
It never errors out or crashes.  It simply hangs.

I am using the same mpic++ and mpirun version:
$ )which mpirun
/Users/meredithk/tools/openmpi/bin/mpirun

$ )which mpic++
/Users/meredithk/tools/openmpi/bin/mpic++

Not quite sure what else to check.
