Did you use the module command to set up your path and environment for the mpi system you are using?  Since Fedora has multiple mpi packages available, and different users on the same machine may want to use different mpis at the same time, we can't simply install their binaries in the standard path, because then there'd be no way to tell which mpicc (etc) a user wanted.

I did not know there were multiple mpi packages... I thought that openMPI was alone to provide the MPI implementation under Linux. Sorry... I close the bug.
