Damn, I thought it's solved. Even though MPI is now correctly 
configured, I still obtain the following message:

<gretlcli>
*** Warning ***
*
* gretl is built using OpenMP, but is linked against
* OpenBLAS parallelized via pthreads. This combination
* of threading mechanisms is not recommended. Ideally,
* OpenBLAS should also use OpenMP.

</gretlcli>
