What C++ compiler are you using?
LAM/MPI 7.0 did upgrade the requirement for a modern C++ compiler (that
has STL support and bool / true/false support) -- 6.5.9 did not require
this.
Sidenote: It may be worth your while to upgrade your C++ compiler if
you've got an old one. Modern C/C++ compilers (especially the GNU series)
include a *lot* more support for C++ features, and generally have a lot
better performance. However, be warned -- this may not be an easy task.
I would defintely install any new compiler in a unique location (i.e., do
not overwrite your old C/C++ compiler) in case something goes wrong, etc.

No. bproc support was introduced in 7.0. Sorry!
