when using that to compile some simple tests, it can not find and link with
the libmpi library. For some reason mpi seems to be just half-way installed
on your system; does that make any sense to you?

Btw, it is kind of consistent with the version-numbers you mention,
somewhere between 0.6.4 and 0.7.1, dolfin switched to use the mpi-compilers
if they are present on your system. Try to set CXX=g++ in the shell or
infront of the ./configure command, and see it that helps!
