I am sure the subject line is confusing, so let me try to clarify. We installed 
openMPI in  “usr/local/packages” on a node that we use for compilations, but 
this is actually a network-attached share, which is mounted under a different 
name on compute nodes. 

I believe the installation path is hardcoded in some of the text/binary files, 
which is causing warning messages such as:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry!  You were supposed to get help about:
   knem fail open
But I couldn't open the help file:
   
/usr/local/packages/openmpi/1.8/intel-15.0/share/openmpi/help-mpi-btl-sm.txt: 
No such file or directory.  Sorry!

Is there a way to install openMPI in a way that it will run from any location 
as long as the $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH include required bits?

Thanks a lot in advance!
