Ah, thanks!

Strange! Ubuntu quantal does have libopenmpi-dev and mpi.h lives in 
/usr/include/mpi (a symlink created by update-alternatives). Therefore 
passing CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/mpi to "configure" should have it 
detected. Or maybe simply use setting CXX=mpic++ will be good enough.

I'll wait for your results. Building octave takes too long a time on my 
rather old box. :-(
