I have install openmpi library from the standard apt-get install available in Ubuntu. I run a python code which call MPI libraries. I get the following error. Any ideas whatis the source of error? Is it an OpenMPI configuration error? How to fix this?

It looks like opal_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during opal_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):



     opal_shmem_base_select failed
      --> Returned value -1 instead of OPAL_SUCCESS

Seems to be a somewhat complex problem with linking and how modules are loaded. The solution is to compile openmpi with --disable-dlopen

Compiling with --disable-mca-dso also worked for me. Unfortunately, I don't know how easy this is on ubuntu.

See http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#avoid-dso

I found the solution here:
