[molpro-user] Installing molpro - GA toolkit needed, or can we use openmpi by itself?

I can invoke mpirun with a simple mpi script,
(Not running on the head node), and it seems to work correctly.

(For what it's worth, openmpi was compiled with:
 CC=pgcc CXX=pgcpp F77=pgf77 FC=pgf90 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi/1.4.3-pgi --with-openib --with-tm=/usr/local/torque/latest --enable-static --enable-shared
)

(the 'with-tm' is torque v.2.5.5)


Here's a verbose listing of the process I'm using to compile/make molpro,
for public scrutiny/possible embarrassment:

# set up basic molpro files
- set up ~/.molpro/token
- extract molpro source file (molpro.2010.1.23.tar.gz)

# set up PGI compilers
- ensure PGI version 11.8 binaries are in PATH
- ensure LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes PGI 'lib' and 'libso' directories

# set up openmpi (openmpi compiled against PGI 11.8)
- ensure CPPFLAGS references openmpi 'include' directory
- ensure LDFLAGS references openmpi 'lib' directory
- ensure MPI_DIR and MPI_HOME reference openmpi base directory
- ensure LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes openmpi 'lib' directory

# configure molpro
export TMPDIR=/tmp
CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="-openmpi -pgf90 -pgcc -blaspath /usr/local/pgi/linux86-64/11.8/lib -mpp -mppbase /usr/local/openmpi/1.4.3-pgi/include -var INSTBIN=/usr/local/molpro/2010.1-openmpi-pgi/bin -var INSTLIB=/usr/local/molpro/2010.1-openmpi-pgi/lib -var INSTHTML=/usr/local/molpro/2010.1-openmpi-pgi/html"
./configure -batch $CONFIGURE_OPTIONS

make -j8

...I can't spot anything I'm doing that's obviously wrong.
