Either by uninstalling the lam packages, and/or by calling the Open MPI
programs directly (which overrides the default values of the alternatives
system).  I.e.

	  mpicc.openmpi			instead of mpicc

	  mpirun.openmpi		instead of mpirun, or just use orterun

But unless you have a reason to use it, I'd just un-install all things lam.
