: ld: cannot open -lmpi:no such file or directory

what it means when you do a -lmpi is that it will look under a certain
list of directories for a library file called libmpi.a or libmpi.so etc.
when it says, no such file or directory, it means that it cannot locate
such a library file. The thing to do is to try and locate this file
manually and include the path using -L<path> (eg. -L/usr/lib) in your
command line.
