| The attached patch adds an alternavites symlink linking libmpi++.so to
| OpenMPI's libmpi_cxx.so.0, matching the C++ library links in mpich and

Sure thing, that looks like oversight on our part. Thanks for spotting it.

BTW saw your post on the ompi list. I also had to use some swicthes / extern
"C" headers or what have you to prevent clashes between C++ code and MPI
libraries that I wanted to call 'C style' rather than C++. It's been a while
so I would have to dig up the details.

Cheers, Dirk
