Dear maintainer,

The .pc files for libopenmpi should be installed into /usr/lib/pkgconfig
instead of /usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig.

The way it is now pkg-config doesn't know about openmpi:
pini at pini:~$ dpkg -L libopenmpi-dev | grep pkgconfig
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig/orte.pc
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig/opal.pc
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig/ompi.pc
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig/ompi-f90.pc
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig/ompi-f77.pc
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig/ompi-cxx.pc
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/pkgconfig/ompi-c.pc
pini at pini:~$ pkg-config --libs ompi
Package ompi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ompi.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'ompi' found

Many thanks in advance,

_g.
