Hi there.

We're trying to get OF running using on a Ubuntu 12.04 (x86) system.
Following the installation instructions from openfoamwiki gave us a running installation of OF, but it gives errors, when we try to run it in parallel operation:

Sorry!  You were supposed to get help about:
    find-available:not-valid
But I couldn't open the help file:
    /home/*****/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.1/openmpi-1.4.1/share/openmpi/help-mca-base.txt: No such file or directory.  Sorry!

The path mentioned in the error message (/home/*****/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.1/openmpi-1.4.1/share/openmpi/help-mca-base.txt ) doesn't exist.

(I also noticed the compiler complaining about missing mpi.h in Allwmake of OF 1.7.1, which is somewhat weird, as we'd manage to get a recent OF 2.1.1 running parallel without any problems.)

Can anyone help ?

[Isn't there a recent howto out there, describing how to build OF 1.7.1 with mpi support ? Most of the docs I read were unfortunately severely out of date ]
