Thanks for the bug report. You are absolutely correct - the #define is incorrect in Open MPI. I've committed a fix to our development trunk and it should be included in the future releases. In the mean time, it is safe to change the line in the installed mpi.h for Open MPI from:
#define MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE ((void *) 0) /* don't return error codes */ to #define MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE ((int *) 0) /* don't return error codes */ Since it's a simple cast, there is no need to recompile Open MPI's libmpi -- modifying the installed mpi.h is safe.
