What's wrong with the Debian packages (if you really want LAM)?

  Description-en: LAM runtime environment for executing parallel programs
   LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an open source implementation of the
   Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard.
   .
   Some enhancements in LAM 6.3 are:
    o Added the MPI-2 C++ bindings package (chapter 10 from the MPI-2
        standard) from the Laboratory for Scientific Computing at the
        University of Notre Dame.
    o Added ROMIO MPI I/O package (chapter 9 from the MPI-2 standard)
        from the Argonne National Laboratory.
    o Pseudo-tty support for remote IO (e.g., line buffered output).
    o Ability to pass environment variables through mpirun.
    o Ability to mpirun shell scripts/debuggers/etc. (that eventually
        run LAM/MPI programs).
    o Ability to execute non-MPI programs across the multicomputer.
    o Added configurable ability to zero-fill internal LAM buffers
        before they are used (for development tools such as Purify).
    o Greatly expanded error messages; provided for customizable
        local help files.
    o Expanded and updated documentation.
    o Various bug fixes and minor enhancements.

The LAM site housed one or two things other than LAM which might still
be of interest, but I don't remember what off-hand.
