The latest openmpi Debian packaging is only for 1.6.5, which is what Ubuntu 14.04 has; 12.04 has 1.4.3. I don't know where you'd look for packaging of anything more recent. I could probably supply Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 .debs for 1.10, but I know nothing about Travis. The build fails when openmpi is already installed. There's probably an obvious solution to that, but the packaging probably needs more work for the new version. [For what it's worth, I've normally been able to find or upgrade a suitable Vagrant box when I've needed another distribution/version to play with and a buildroot isn't good enough.]
