for parallel compilation there should be a -D__PARA here.
so you basically compiled the serial version (using mpif77 instead
of ifort doesn't automatically mean that you compile the parallel
version). so please do a 'make clean' and then re-configure with:

env MPIF90=mpif77 ./configure 

check the output of the configure command, and then re-compile.

yep. this is what is supposed to happen if you start a non-parallel
program aross multiple cpus with MPI. MPI parallel programs are 
supposed to be independent until they call MPI_INIT and after
MPI_FINALIZE. a serial program (even if compiled with an MPI 
compiler wrapper) does not contain these calls and hence you get
the behavior you see and the warning from mpirun. if you want to
learn more details about this, i recommend you look into some of
the MPI tutorials on the web, that make this very clear.

cheers,
   axel.
