[Paraview] Cannot compile 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with OpenMPI 1.8.1

[Victor]

I still cannot compile Paraview. I attempted to recompile openmpi-1.8.1
with fPIC but something is causing either the fPIC to be set incorrectly or
I am doing something wrong. In any case I am completely stuck so I would
really appreciate some help in traversing this error:

Linking CXX shared library ../../../lib/libvtkParallelMPI-pv4.1.so
/usr/bin/ld: /opt/openmpi-1.8.1/lib/libmpi.a(comm_init.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32 against `ompi_comm_f_to_c_table' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/opt/openmpi-1.8.1/lib/libmpi.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [lib/libvtkParallelMPI-pv4.1.so.1] Error 1
make[1]: *** [VTK/Parallel/MPI/CMakeFiles/vtkParallelMPI.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


The latest openmpi configure command was: ./configure --with-sge
--with-mx=/opt/open-mx --with-pic --with-mx-libdir=/opt/open-mx/lib
--prefix=/opt/openmpi-1.8.1

I also attempted to manually set -fPIC flag by editing the Makefile and by
setting a global CCFLAG. Nothing worked.
