The problem is that the MPI patches expect the end user to be at least
marginally familiar with running an MPI environment. That said, the
most likely explanation is that you failed to initialize your MPI
environment by running 'mpd' before using 'mpirun' - mpd is the
traditional MPI management daemon and has to be running before you'll
get anything going.
This is far more MPI-specific than JtR-specific, but I suppose it
ought to be added to the parallelization page anyway, since it (and
Gentoo's recent addition of the 'mpi' USE keyword) are likely to bring
in a bunch of MPI-inexperienced users. They also insisted on openmpi
instead of mpich2, since the developer responsible had a bad
experience in interop between PPC and x86 machines on mpich2. *sigh*
