Hello all,

I have been using OF1.7.x for a number of cases, and when OF2 was released I eagerly installed it. Unfortunately, since I installed OF2, I can no longer run applications in parallel in OF1.7.x. Some more info:
-Parallel processing works fine in OF2
-There appears to be some kind of MPI problem (MPI installed with OF2 is newer than that installed with OF17x, did it delete the older version?)
-I have set up my .bashrc to call one of the two OF bashrc when I call the appropriate alias
-using Ubuntu 10.04
-I would like to continue using OF1.7.x for the cases that are in progress since it would take some effort to change the structure to be suitable for use in OF2.

-I get the following error:

Sorry!  You were supposed to get help about:
    opal_init:startup:internal-failure
But I couldn't open the help file:
    /home/dan/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.x/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.4.1/share/openmpi/help-opal-runtime.txt: No such file or directory.  Sorry!

Note that I re-ran foamInstallationTest, and I now have a critical failure:

I would appreciate any help you could offer. I am not familiar with MPIs, but I have a feeling I need to make OF17x use the newer MPI. Just not sure how to do it.

Thanks,
Dan
