[OMPI users] fail to link when looking in other directories containing other MPI libraries

Hello to all,

  I'm working on SGI Altix machine (IA64) which provides its own MPI
library. It is installed under /usr.

  I've installed OpenMPI 1.2 on my own user area in order to do some tests.
  However, when I link the test application with the mpicc from OpenMPI
and the command line contains -L /usr/lib mpicc fails telling me that
it's unable to find some symbols from the OpenMPI lib (I suppose that it
tries to use /usr/lib/libmpi.* instead of $OMPI_HOME/lib/libmpi.*).

  Shouldn't mpicc force the usage of $OMPI_HOME/lib/libmpi* at the link
stage and avoid other MPI libraries?

Thank you!,

and prova-mpi.c is like this

#include <mpi.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int r;

        r = MPI_Init (&argc, &argv);
        r = MPI_Barrier (MPI_COMM_WORLD);
        r = MPI_Finalize();
}
