Yesterday I wanted to launch one of my older programs to generate some matrices. The problem is, it didn't work. I got this error:

./matrixBinaryGenerator: error while loading shared libraries: libmpich.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've tried to reinstall mpich, mpich2 and libmpich-dev, but even if all of them have reinstalled succesfully, it didn't solve my problem.

So, I know, that this is a pretty beginners' question, but, do you know how could I install this library? I prefer not to install it manually (from RPM etc.), but from some repository.


My program uses PETSC, my OS is Ubuntu 14.10.


This is the version of my MPI:

Finally I've found a workaround for this. I found out, that instead of libmpich.so.10 there is libmpich.so.12 on my system. So I created a symlink and it works :-)


Command:

ln -s libmpich.so.10 libmpich.so.12
