[MPICH] issues in linking stage when trying to compile one of our apps.

[Clements, Brent M (SAIC)]

Hello I am getting a number of undefined references including
 
: undefined reference to `mpi_init_'

undefined reference to `mpi_finalize_'

and so on and so on, basically every mpi function call in our code keeps getting "undefined references"
 
Here is our command line.
 
mpicxx -ldl -lpthread -g2c -lm -I/opt/intel/fce/9.0/include -o /tmp/exec.exe *.o \
           /home/vip/code_vip/v2003d8/LINUX/exec_em_mpi.a\
           -L/home/vip/code_vip/LINUX_lib_em_mpi\
           -lblitzpakv2003r5\
           -lexcelv14r0\
           -lslatec\
           -lLINUXvdbapi\
           -ldbtools\
           -lprolib\
           -ls_xandcdum\
           -lxerces-c1_5_1\
           -lflex\
           -lLGC_CommonLicensing_pic\
           /opt/intel/fce/9.0/lib/libifport.a /opt/intel/fce/9.0/lib/libifcore.a /opt/intel/fce/9.0/lib/libimf.a  /opt/intel/fce/9.0/lib/libirc.a

Don't mind the intel fortran library calls, we do this on purpose and we've determined that they are not the cause of the issues. 
 
Am I missing anything in the compile commandline or does it appear that anything is out of order?
 
Thanks,
Brent
