Quick answer: I'm somewhat late to this, but the problem is that LAM is the MPI toolbox that is being picked up by OpenFOAM when trying to build things, but LAM is not supported with the default installation options.
You should install Open-MPI (as instructed in the official installation instructions).
If you have already installed it, then try running the following commands:

Code:

foam
ln -s /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi bin/mpicc
ln -s /usr/bin/mpirun.openmpi bin/mpirun
wmRefresh

And now try building OpenFOAM.
