It seems that Cactus doesn't realize that MPI requires a few additional libraries. Most likely, this list of additional libraries varies from system to system, and may depend on the Debian version. Usually, Cactus use shared libraries, and they contain enough information to automatically find and use all necessary dependencies. Apparently you are using static libraries (see "libmpi.a" in the beginning of the error messages), and this requires listing dependencies manually.
I also just see that Cactus build MPI by itself, which it shouldn't have if there is an existing MPI. Also, if Cactus builds MPI, it should have correctly figured out the dependencies! Maybe adding "MPI_DIR = /usr" to the debian.cfg option list would help.
Do you have the output that Cactus produces when configuring? This would tell us why Cactus didn't find Debian's MPI. You could build from scratch, saving all output, and attaching this to a bug report.

I couple of days ago I bought Parallels for my mac and then installed debian jessie. After installing some required packages today I am attempting to build ET-Hilbert. The build goes ok until the end when I get some complaints and then a make failure. I attach the output toward the end. I used the stock debian.cfg file. There seems to be a problem with MPI. I have openmpi installed as suggested at the top of the debian.cfg file. I do not have any other mpi flavors installed.
Can someone please take a look at the attached file and let me know whether something sticks out?
Thanks very much.
