Strange. I had actually done this before I emailed (several times, in fact), but for the sake of completeness, I did it once more. This time, it worked! No clue why it worked this time around.

For those of you who in the future come across this problem, here are the (more or less exact) steps I took to recover from the problem:

PROBLEM: You installed v1.1 of Open MPI and experience keyval parse errors upon running mpicc, mpif77, mpic++, and so forth.

SOLUTION:
1. Go to your v1.1 directory, and type './configure' if you have not already done so
2.  Type 'make uninstall'
3. Go to your v1.0.2 directory, and reconfigure using the same settings as you installed with (if you still have the install directory, you probably don't need to do this as it has already been configured)
4.  In the v1.0.2 directory, type 'make uninstall'
5. For good measure, I went back to the v1.1 directory and typed 'make uninstall' again 6. Find lingering Open MPI directories and files and then delete them (for instance, empty Open MPI-related folders remained in my / usr/local/* directories) 7. At this point, I restarted my machine. Not sure if it's necessary or not. 8. Go back to the v1.1 directory. Type 'make clean', then reconfigure, then recompile and reinstall
9.  Things should work now.


Thank you Michael,

You may have to properly uninstall OpenMPI 1.0.2 before installing
OpenMPI 1.1

This was an issue in the past.

I would recommend you go into your OpenMPI 1.1 directory and type
"make uninstall", then if you have it go into your OpenMPI 1.0.2
directory and do the same.  If you don't have a directory with
OpenMPI 1.0.2 configured already then either rebuild OpenMPI 1.0.2 or
go into /usr/local and identify all remaining OpenMPI directories and
components and remove them.  Basically you should find directories
modified when you installed OpenMPI 1.1 (or when you uninstalled it)
and you may find components dated from when you installed OpenMPI 1.0.2.

Hello all,
