If you wish to run packmol_memgen, you should upgrade to AmberTools19:
cd $AMBERHOME; ./update_amber --upgrade
(You should do this for reasons beyond improved boost compatibility.)

Looks like you are trying to use openmpi version 4: is that correct?
You can do this by compiling it yourself: go to AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src
and run the "configure_openmpi" command there. This will be build
openmpi and place the executables and libraries inside your AMBERHOME
folder where programs can find them.
Right now, AmberTools cannot be compiled with standard distributions of
openMPI version 4, because we still use deprecated calls like the one
listed above. (That particular one is fixed in AmberTools19, but there
is a remaining problem with CHARMM-related code in sander--developers
are encouraged to jump in and figure this one out.)
You should be fine with openMPI versions before 4.0, or with other MPI
stacks, like mpich.
...good luck...dac
