Bug#587234: mpicxx.h: error: mpi.h: No such file or directory

[Gerber van der Graaf]

Package: mpi-default-dev
Version: 0.6
Severity: normal

When building the FreeFOAM software for debianizing
(http://freefoam.sf.net, not yet in debian) from the upstream git
repository, the compilation fails with error message:
=========================

==============================

While I do find these files on my system at:
/usr/include/mpi/openmpi/ompi/mpi/cxx/

Maybe a wrong or missing symlink?

I tested the example of hello_cxx from openmpi-doc package, after
configuring and building with CMake implemented "find_package(MPI
REQUIRED)", like the FreeFOAM package. This, though, works fine.
