As I said, this sounds like a problem with your MPI installation; try 
using a recent version of LAM or OpenMPI.

If you have to hack the configure script to get it to compile without 
HDF5, then you have probably screwed something up.  Download a fresh copy 
of MPB and follow the instructions regarding the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS 
variables passed to the configure script in order to tell it where you've 
installed stuff.

As a general rule, if you find yourself hacking on things without 
understanding the source of the errors, then you are probably doing 
something wrong.
