Thanks.

For what it is worth, it looks like I now have a successful build of
open-mpi plus hdf5.   With the caveat (see pasted note below from the HDF5
support desk) about make check-p from hdf5.

For anyone else trying to get hdf5 going with openmpi on mavericks, here
are the configure combinations that seem to work.  This was with openmpi
1.7.3, hdf5 1.8.12, Mac OS X 10.9.1, the gcc that comes with XCode 5.0.2,
and gfortran 4.9:

For openmpi:

configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi CC=gcc CXX=g++ FC=gfortran
F77=gfortran --enable-static --with-pic --disable-dlopen
--enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default

For hdf5:

configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5/par CC=mpicc CFLAGS=-fPIC FC=mpifort
FCFLAGS=-fPIC CXX=mpicxx CXXFLAGS=-fPIC --enable-parallel --enable-fortran

Thanks, all.

Ron
