Compiling Octave: HDF5 and openmpi

[Niels]

Hello,

I wanted to compile Octave 3.6.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with HDF5-support. 

The first thing I do is to type:
./configure 
in the directory I unpacked the sources in.

I receive the following errors in the config.log:

configure:35512: checking hdf5.h usability
configure:35512: gcc -c -g -O2 -pthread    conftest.c >&5
In file included from /usr/include/hdf5.h:24:0,
                 from conftest.c:590:
/usr/include/H5public.h:57:20: fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory

But the header-file mpi.h is available as the followin log shows:

address@hidden:/usr/local/src/octave/octave-3.6.4$ ll
/usr/include/mpi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jun 30  2013 /usr/include/mpi ->
/etc/alternatives/mpi/
address@hidden:/usr/local/src/octave/octave-3.6.4$
/etc/alternatives/mpi
bash: /etc/alternatives/mpi: Is a directory
address@hidden:/usr/local/src/octave/octave-3.6.4$ ls
/etc/alternatives/mpi
mpif-common.h  mpif-config.h  mpif.h  mpif-mpi-io.h  mpi.h  openmpi 
vampirtrace

How do I make ./configure find mpi.h?

Kind regards
Niels Christoffers
