[mpich-discuss] undefined symbol: MPIR_Thread

Ok!

I realised that in first instance I installed mpich via the ubuntu 
repository, and afterwards i built it myself.
That was the reason why I had another MPI installation present.

So I un-installed the first version, and built the other one again, to 
be sure.
I have set the references as you said:

FC            := /usr/local/mpich2-1.3.1/bin/mpif90
CC            := /usr/local/mpich2-1.3.1/bin/mpicc
F90           := /usr/local/mpich2-1.3.1/bin/mpif90
MPICC           := /usr/local/mpich2-1.3.1/bin/mpicc
MPIF90           := /usr/local/mpich2-1.3.1/bin/mpif90

and compiled the model again. This went ok, an executable was created 
(see attach for example of one of the modules)
Running the executable unfortunately gave me the same error:
./ccsm.exe: symbol lookup error: ./ccsm.exe: undefined symbol: MPIR_Thread

So back to square one?

Any new ideas?
Matthias
