You can point configure to your installed OpenJPEG by adding 
"PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/hpc/local/CentOS6/dhl_ec/lib/pkgconfig" to the 
configure command line.  configure will read OpenJPEG's pkg-config file 
in that directory and automatically set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

Also, make sure you have OpenJPEG 1.4 or higher, but *not* OpenJPEG 2.x.
