On a beowulf cluster? So you are using bproc? If so, you have to use the OMPI 1.2 series - we discontinued bproc support at the start of 1.3. Bproc will take care of the envars.
If not bproc, then I assume you will use ssh for launching? Usually, the environment is taken care of by setting up your .bashrc (or equiv for your shell) on the remote nodes (which usually have a shared file system so all binaries are available on all nodes).
