yt itself does not link against an mpi library.  Instead, we use mpi4py to
handle bindings to the local mpi installation.  To be sure that mpi4py is
linked against the correct mpi lbirary, you should first uninstall mpi4py:

$ pip uninstall mpi4py

then download an mpi4py tarball, unzip it, and build it using the correct
sysem MPI

$ wget https://mpi4py.googlecode.com/files/mpi4py-1.3.1.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf mpi4py-1.3.1.tar.gz
$ python setup.py build --mpicc=/where/you/have/mpicc
$ python setup.py install

When you buid mpi4py, be sure to specify the path to the MPI compiler for
the system MPI package you want to link against.  For more detail on
building mpi4py, check here:
