ZOMG.  As one of the last LAM/MPI developers, please do not install LAM/MPI!  
We did, indeed, kill it many years ago because Open MPI replaced it.

Which Linux distro/version is this?  I'd like to write to the package 
maintainers to get them to remove LAM/MPI from their packages...

If you compile Open MPI on your own, your get both: the runtime environment 
(i.e. dynamic libraries and certain commands like `mpiexec`) and the compiler 
wrappers including the necessary header files. In case it's delivered 
precompiled by a Linux distribution, they often split the packages to contain 
the runtime parts in one packages and the development tools in an additional 
package.

If you use these delivered libraries and installed the runtime environment also 
with the package manager of your distribution, I would suggest to install 
"libopenmpi-dev" (and only this one to avoid conflicts with wrappers from other 
MPI implementations).
