Excellent. Now I've read the FAQ and noticed that it doesn't mention the issue
with the Fortran 90 .mod signatures. Our applications are Fortran. So your
replies are very helpful -- now I know it really isn't practical for us to use
the default OpenMPI shipped with RHEL6 since we use both Intel and PGI
compilers and have several applications to accommodate. Presumably if all the
applications did INCLUDE 'mpif.h' instead of 'USE MPI' then we could get
things working, but it's not a great workaround.
Thank you very much

The gfortran build of Fortran library, as well as the .mod USE files,
won't work with ifort or PGI compilers. g++ built libraries ought to
work with sufficiently recent versions of icpc.
As noted above, it's worth while to rebuild yourself, even if you use a
(preferably more up to date version of) gcc, which you can use along
with one of the commercial Fortran compilers for linux.
