AMBER: Fwd: Amber9 parallel compilation openmpi issues

Analysis of config.h and errors.log by comepetents in openmpi, who do not know
Amber, may help. It is clear at this point that the issue can only be solved
with help from Amber compilation experts. Notice please that openmpi is in use
for other apploications and I am not allowed to change from intel to other
compiler for it.

The analysis follows in the next two paragraphs:

I see that "ifort" is being used to build Amber (instead of using mpif77 or
mpif90), and I don't see any reference to the MPI libraries in the final link
line to create the "sander.MPI" executable, which is probably why it says it
can't find all those symbols.

Because Open MPI wrapper compilers to build themselves are not used (which
would automatically get all the proper header files and libraries) you can only
hope to come out with help from people familiar with Amber, which unfortunately
is not my case.

Thanks
