We have been using Siesta on a similar machine, single box with 8 duel core Opterons. I compiled Siesta successfully a few different configurations but this is what I currently use: Intel FORTRAN v9.x Openmpi 1.2 ACML 3.6 Then I built BLACKS and SCALAPACK using ACML for the LAPACK libs. There is a FAQ on the OPENMPI website about building BLACKS and SCALAPACK. They also have a mailing list for MPI problems.
