SuSE supports an application mpi-selector which installs when you load the (broken) SuSE version of OpenMPI. According to your choice of mpi implementation it will correctly set PATH, MANPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for you.
The initial installation drops the usual pair (.sh, .csh) of scripts into /etc/login.d. When one of them runs it locates the appropriate default (set at system or user level) and includes an appropriate script from /var/mpi-selector/data. If you manually create an instance of openmpi you will have to create the relevant scripts. We currently have: openmpi-1.3.csh openmpi-1.3.sh openmpi-1.4.1.csh openmpi-1.4.1.sh The selector program will gives the coice of "openmpi-1.3" or "openmpi-1.4.1" and sets the default for the NEXT login. It's a little simplistic, but it seems to work fine.
