CESM postprocessing tool failing by not finding MPI

[strandwg]

The recent CISL downtime was used to clear up some libraries and other maintenance tasks, it appears, as the CESM postprocessing tool is now failing after being unable to find MPI.

The error I'm getting looks like

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./cesm_tseries_generator.py", line 7, in <module>
exec(compile(f.read(), __file__, 'exec'))
File "/glade/p/cesm/postprocessing_dav/timeseries/timeseries/cesm_tseries_generator.py", line 385, in <module>

I suspect rebuilding the postprocessing tools will correct the problem.

Thanks!
