Are you using cmake or autoconf?  Providing your actual commands here would be 
useful.  The approach is different based on your method of configuration, but 
with cmake you can set -DMPI_COMPILER=/path/to/mpicc or with similarly with 
autoconf, use the MPICC environment variable to point to the mpicc of choice.
