openMPI port fails to build

Hi,

I am trying to build the openMPI port and it is failing.  When I run  
with the debug mode on, I see that it has errors with
"Making all in tools/orte-iof"
it is listing undefined symbols:
"_orte_iof" referenced from:
   _orte_iof$non_lazy_ptr in orte_iof.o
and
  "_orte_routed", referenced from:
   _orte_routed$non_lazy_ptr in libopen-rte.a (hnp_contact.o)
   _orte_routed$non_lazy_ptr in libopen-rte.a (rml_base_contact.o)

Now, I had an earlier failure because I had a version of ifort that  
no longer works (I only had a 30 day test license at one point).  The  
strange thing there is that when it complained about this message the  
checks read:
*** Fortran 77 compiler
checking for gfortran... no
checking for g77... no
checking for f77... no
checking for xlf... no
checking for frt... no
checking for ifort... ifort
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran 77 compiler... no
checking whether ifort accepts -g... no
checking if Fortran 77 compiler works... no

I do, however have g77 (v 3.4.0) installed in /usr/local/bin/g77 and  
I have gfortran-mp-4.3 installed (as well as g95).  Apparently the  
verbose and debug flags do not normally list these checks, as this  
message went away when I removed ifort from my path.  I have no idea  
which fortran the script ultimately finds, but it appears to be  
using /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 to compile this port, so if it is finding  
gfortran 4.3, could that be part of the problem?

I also notice that I must have some version of openmpi installed  
already (with the developer's tools?).  When I type:
    mpicc --version
I get:
   i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5488)
but if I try this with mpif77 or mpif90, I get a message  
"Unfortunately, this installation of Open MPI was not compiled with  
Fortran 77[90] support. As such, the mpif77[mpif90] compiler is non- 
functional."

I was able to install mpich2 without any (apparent) problems - but I  
need openmpi for PETsc.

I am running OS 10.5.6 and have Xcode 3.1.1 installed.

Thanks,
