The workaround you suggest didn't work. I reported this as a bug to Fedora bugzilla and I got the following answer:

This sounds like you didn't load the openmpi environment module prior to attempting to compile. The openmpi package is compliant with the new mpi packaging guidelines which state that there is no system wide mpi by default and the user must select the mpi they wish to compile with by use of the environment modules supplied by the mpi package. That module includes the necessary modifications to the environment to allow compilation of mpi programs. Can you please confirm if you see this problem after the proper environment is loaded?

I really don't know how to check that, but looks like the packager's oppinion is that this isn't a packaging but of mpic++. May be this is something new of openmpi that hasn't been taken into account in boost build process?

You might want to ask on a Fedora mailing list what's the correct way to select an "environment module" with their new package. I think this has nothing to do with the Boost build process -- you probably just need to set some environment variables or run a command that does some kind of environment setup for you. I don't use Fedora myself and I have no access to any machine running it, so I'm afraid I cannot be of any help here. Best regards, Riccardo
