Sorry! You were supposed to get help about:
orte_init:startup:internal-failure
But I couldn't open the help file:

*** An error occurred in MPI_Init
*** on a NULL communicator
*** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (processes in this communicator will now abort,
*** and potentially your MPI job)
[localhost:10031] Local abort before MPI_INIT completed completed successfully, but am not able to aggregate error messages, and not able to guarantee that all other processes were killed!

From what I can tell, these errors are related to your MPI configuration and are not specific to miniFE. I suggest you first try to get a simpler MPI program working first. A parallel "Hello, world." program would do.
