I'm fairly sure that is due to mixing up OMPI versions somehow, even if you tried not to. A user here compiled their own version (actually OF 1.7, but I don't think that's relevant) and got that error when using a thirdparty directory with OMPI 1.4 in it. I built an RPM of it against the system OMPI (1.6, but again I'd be surprised if that matters) and a scotch package with no thirdparty stuff, and it works. I didn't find out what was actually happening with the user's version, I'm afraid. For what it's worth, the spec file for the OF 2.2.2 RPM for RH6 is at <http://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/misc/SPECS/openfoam.spec>. It will need changes for SuSE which I'd be happy to have before trying to get various packaging into Fedora/EPEL. -- Community Grid Engine: http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/
