Hi,
We would like to distribute OpenMPI along with our software to
customers, is there any legal issue we need to know about?
Not that I know of (disclaimer: IANAL). Open MPI is licensed under the
new BSD license. Open MPI's license is here:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/license.php
We can successfully build OpenMPI using
./configure --prefix=/some_path;make;make install
However, if we do
cp -r /some_path /other_path
and try to run
/other_path/bin/orterun,
below error message is thrown:

Sorry! You were supposed to get help about:
orterun:usage
from the file:
help-orterun.txt
But I couldn't find any file matching that name. Sorry!

Apparently, the path is hard-coded in the executable. Is there any
way to fix it (such as using an environment variable etc)?
There is. See:

Hope this helps,
Tim
