Description Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2015-01-14 15:29:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since the libraries are installed in a mpich/lib folder, ldconfig cannot find these on it's own. Would it be possible to provide a file that contains a single line for ldconfig? I'm not sure if it has other effects, though.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mpich-3.1-4.fc21.x86_64
Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2015-03-11 17:40:01 UTC 
You're meant to load the proper module file first, e.g.:

module load mpi/mpich-x86_64
Comment 2 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2015-03-11 17:56:35 UTC 
Ah, hrm, is this documented somewhere? I couldn't find it in the doc files the package provides. The README says to add to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH itself, for example.

Thanks anyway,

I'm afraid we are sorely lacking documentation here.
