I would agree with Glen: download a tarball and compile LAM/MPI from
source. We take a lot of effort to make compilation and installation
of LAM/MPI to be as simple as possible. Check out the official LAM/MPI
Installation Guide (both in the tarball and on the web site). Don't be
alarmed at its length -- there's "quick start" sections if you know
what you're doing. The bulk of the manual is laboriously explaining
each command line option, etc. So there's very few people on the
planet besides me who have read it cover-to-cover. :-)
