It works!  Thanks a lot, Johannes.

In summary, with the platform file below and

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${INSTALL_PATH}/lib/vtk-5.6:${INSTALL_PATH}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/openmpi/lib

dolfin installs and functions under Scientific Linux 6,
including viper.

Note that I also needed to explicitly add /usr/lib/openmpi/lib
to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.


Platform file for Scientific Linux 6 (probably also RHEL 6 and CentOS 6)
