epel6 nwchem-mpich2
The epel6 rpm for nwchem-mpich provides a binary that is not able to figure out where the MPI libraries are located.
nwchem-openmpi is able to load the libraries, instead.


$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. /usr/lib64/mpich2/bin/nwchem_mpich2 
/usr/lib64/mpich2/bin/nwchem_mpich2: error while loading shared libraries: libmpich.so.1.2: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
