When configure runs, it picks up a few global build options (I don't know where they're set; I didn't do it) that tell it to build a Universal Binary. As my MPI implementation (MPICH2 from hpc.sf.net) is native x86, the build fails. This happened for my professor with OpenMPI as well.

Note: removing "-arch ppc" from the Makefile will cause it to build perfectly on my x86 OS X laptop as well as the one running OpenMPI.
