I don’t know what is up with OpenMPI, you’ll have to follow the leads that it is giving you to understand what is going on (using MCA parameters to get more info).  
The error with PT-SCOTCH is rather common, see [Compiltion errors on Centos 7 - #3 by prj](https://community.freefem.org/t/compiltion-errors-on-centos-7/872/3).
