Description of problem: After installing the package scalapack-openmpi, a link from libscalapack.so.1.0.0 to libscalapack.so is missing in /usr/lib64/scalapack-openmpi. Setting manually the link fixes the problem. By the way, it would be more logical to put the library in /usr/lib64/openmpi/lib, where the blacs library already are. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): scalapack-openmpi-1.7.5-13.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install scalapack-openmpi-1.7.5-13.fc15.x86_64 2. Go to /usr/lib64/scalapack-openmpi 3. ls -l shows that a link is missing Actual results: cannot load the scalapack library Expected results: Additional info:
So, this isn't valid. Nothing should be trying to load the unversioned .so at runtime. That link exists in the scalapack-openmpi-devel package, but you should only need that link to compile things against scalapack-openmpi, not to simply use it (hence, the separation).
