Another cannot find MPI.h after installing openmpi on ubuntu 12.4

[SCOTT VAN CASTER]

On Ubuntu 12.4 I have installed openmpi via download and configure, make all, make install.  In trying to install mpi4py, I continue to get the Cannot find mpi.h file.  I have looked and I have several mpi.h files on the computer.  I have put the path to mpi.h in the PATH and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  I have even copied the mpi.h file into the current folder of MPI4py with no success.

I have tried pip install --upgrade mpi4py, MPICC=mpicc sudo -E pip install --upgrade mpi4py and even compile mpi4py with python setup.py build.  All give the same result of not being able to find the mpi.h file.

My environment is Ubuntu 12.4, openmpi  1.8.3, python 2.7.3.  I have not installed mpich.

Any assistance on this matter is greatly appreciated.

You just have to be sure that the directory containing the "mpicc"
compiler wrapper is listed in $PATH and the directory containing the
Open MPI shared libraries (libmpi.so) is listed in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Lisandro,

Thanks for your reply, I manages to get by this my removing mpi4py and the library  libopenmpi-dev, then re-installing them both.
