Compiling NWChem Ubuntu 17.10

I tried to compile the NWchem by following the steps:

I put in my bash.bashrc

export USE_MPI=y
export NWCHEM_TARGET=LINUX64
export USE_PYTHONCONFIG=y
export PYTHONVERSION=2.7
export PYTHONHOME=/usr
export BLASOPT="-lopenblas -lpthread -lrt"
export BLAS_SIZE=4
export USE_64TO32=y

After,

make nwchem_config NWCHEM_MODULES="all python"
make 64_to_32
make

The following message appeared after the make command:

checking for library containing MPI_Init... no
configure: error: test for COMEX_NETWORK=MPI_TS failed
configure: error: ../../ga-5.6.3/comex/configure failed for comex
GNUmakefile:652: recipe for target 'build/config.status' failed
make[1]: *** [build/config.status] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/scr/programas/nwchem-6.8/src/tools'
GNUmakefile:103: recipe for target 'libraries' failed
make: *** [libraries] Error 1

Could someone help me, please?

What is the output of the commands

mpif90 -show

head -30 $NWCHEM_TOP/src/tools/build/config.log

cat $NWCHEM_TOP/src/tools/build/comex/config.log

The MPI library has not been assigned. You can consider the suitable libraries from command "mpif90 -show".

Below is a bash script I used to compile NWChem 6.8 with OpenMPI 1.8.1 on Ubuntu 17.10.

Note that the lines highlighted in red should be adjusted to satify the library/environment of your system.
