Issues while installing mpi4py on linux based cluster

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Hi, I am trying to run a pip install mpi4py but it throws off with an error. The exact error is here:

```

```
This however works on conda, but even if I can see the package on conda list, it doesn't show up when I try importing it from python. Is there a fix for this? Is this a python version issue? I'm using python 3.10.

Start by reproducing the reported `pip install mpi4py` failure in the Linux cluster environment and inspect the logged `/share/apps/anaconda3-2022.05/bin/mpicc` invocation. Confirm whether the missing `x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-cc` compiler is an environment issue or an actionable project installation problem; done requires a documented, reproducible installation path or a confirmed external cause.
