We generally recommend having a new installation for each version of
Open MPI. We do not [yet] test for binary compatibility between
released versions of Open MPI. That's on the to-do list, but it
hasn't happened yet. Specifically, codes that were compiled against
v1.2.3 may or may not work with v.1.2.5.
For example, if you installed Open MPI v1.2.3 into:
/opt/openmpi-1.2.3
you might want to install Open MPI v1.2.5 into:
/opt/openmpi-1.2.5
Or something along those lines.

It is best to recompile / relink them against the new installation of
Open MPI (v1.2.5).

I'm not sure I fully understand this question... If you compile an
MPI application against MPICH2, it will not run properly with Open
MPI's mpirun and libmpi.
