Ah.
The problem is that you're trying to build OMPI in a directory that contains a
space:
/Users/wildes/Desktop/untitled folder/openmpi-1.8.3
Make that "untitled-folder" or "untitled_folder" or even "foo" -- anything
without a space. Then you should be good.
Most Linux/POSIX-ish systems don't react well to directories with a space in
them. Somewhat embarrassingly, it looks like our configure script (or, more
specifically, lib event's configure script, which OMPI contains) doesn't handle
directories with spaces in them.
