I can't think of a rule. Here are a few examples of the usage of both 'other' and 'the other'.
Where are the other boys?

Other can't be followed by a singular noun unless there is a modifier before it:
I saw other people there.
I saw five other people there.
No other person can do it.
I saw other people there.
I saw five other people there.
No other person can do it.
