And you're done.
tree -L2 -d /opt/openmpi
Linking to the libs is done as before, although the path to e.g. libmpi.so is /opt/openmpi/1.6/lib/ and not /opt/openmpi/1.6/lib/openmpi/ like in the regular debian package.

You might also want to update the /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so symlink.
This is definitely one of those packages where it's worth doing ./configure --help to see what options are available.
Also, I imagine that on ROCKS there may well be a few packages which will have to be compile first and specified using --with-<> switches.
A sample:
--with-blcr(=DIR) Path to BLCR Installation
--with-blcr-libdir=DIR Search for BLCR libraries in DIR
--with-hwloc(=DIR) Build hwloc support. DIR can take one of three
--with-hwloc-libdir=DIR Search for hwloc libraries in DIR. Should only be
--with-valgrind(=DIR) Directory where the valgrind software is installed
--with-memory-manager=TYPE
--with-libpicl(=DIR) Build libpicl support, optionally adding
--with-libpicl-libdir=DIR
--with-timer=TYPE Build high resolution timer component TYPE
--with-portals=DIR Specify the installation directory of PORTALS
--with-portals-libs=LIBS
Libraries to link with for portals
--with-alps Build ALPS scheduler component (default: no)
--with-lsf(=DIR) Build LSF support
--with-lsf-libdir=DIR Search for LSF libraries in DIR
--with-pmi Build PMI support (default: no)
--with-cray-pmi-ext Include Cray PMI2 extensions (default: no)
--with-slurm Build SLURM scheduler component (default: yes)
--with-tm(=DIR) Build TM (Torque, PBSPro, and compatible) support,
--with-ftb(=DIR) Build FTB (Fault Tolerance Backplane) support,
--with-ftb-libdir=DIR Search for FTB (Fault Tolerance Backplane) libraries
--with-esmtp(=DIR) Build esmtp support, optionally adding DIR/include,
--with-esmtp-libdir=DIR Search for the esmtp libraries in DIR
--with-sge Build SGE or Grid Engine support (default: no)
--with-loadleveler Build LoadLeveler scheduler component (default: yes)
--with-elan(=DIR) Build Elan (QsNet2) support, searching for libraries
--with-elan-libdir=DIR Search for Elan (QsNet2) libraries in DIR

--with-openib(=DIR) Build OpenFabrics support, optionally adding
--with-openib-libdir=DIR
--with-portals(=DIR) Build Portals support, optionally adding
--with-portals-config configuration to use for Portals support. One of
--with-portals-libs=LIBS
Libraries to link with for portals
--with-sctp(=DIR) Build SCTP support, searching for libraries in DIR
--with-sctp-libdir=DIR Search for SCTP libraries in DIR
--with-knem(=DIR) Build knem Linux kernel module support, searching

--with-fca(=DIR) Build fca (Mellanox Fabric Collective Accelerator)
--with-io-romio-flags=FLAGS
--with-mxm(=DIR) Build Mellanox Messaging support
--with-mxm-libdir=DIR Search for Mellanox Messaging libraries in DIR
--with-psm(=DIR) Build PSM (Qlogic InfiniPath) support, optionally
--with-psm-libdir=DIR Search for PSM (QLogic InfiniPath PSM) libraries in
--with-contrib-vt-flags=FLAGS
--with-event-rtsig compile with support for real time signals
--with-pic[=PKGS] try to use only PIC/non-PIC objects [default=use
--with-gnu-ld assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
--with-sysroot=DIR Search for dependent libraries within DIR
