These symbols belong to libmpl:

nm -A /usr/local/lib/libmpl.a | grep MPL_

So you have to link with -lmpl (and maybe with -lopa too).

I think I do understand this for software which uses MPICH2.

With your suggestion I am able to build math/R package 'Rmpi' without
errors any more and to install it. For this I only had to extend the
configure script of the R package:

-PKG_LIBS="-L${MPI_LIBPATH} -lmpich ${MPI_LIBS}"
+PKG_LIBS="-L${MPI_LIBPATH} -lmpich -lmpl -lopa ${MPI_LIBS}"

Great!

Sorry for my ignorance:
Is it ok to have symbols like MPL_trfree, MPI_F_STATUS_IGNORE and
others 'undefined' within libmpich?

I think so: this is a design choice (by the authors).

Why are there symbol names visible in libmpich.a, but not in
libmpich.so.2.0? Is this intended?

No, the static libraries and the shared ones are identical. If you link
statically, you also need libmpl.a

Ok, so I usually have to take care to link libraries like libmpl, libopa etc. in addition to libmpich (or using the wrappers if possible).

Another solution could be to link with mpicc and friends instead of
gcc/g++/gfortran, as these wrappers set the correct flags and link to
the correct libraries as required.

Yes. I know of mpicc, mpic++, mpicxx and others. I tried to use them
in my experimental port math/sprng, but it seems a little bit tricky.

Yet another solution could be to configure mpich2 with
--enable-lib-depend, but this is experimental...

What would be the consequence of configuring mpich2 with --enable-lib-depend? Would dependencies like libmpl be more integrated in libmpich?

BTW, a new version has been released, and I have plan to upgrade it
after the ports thaw.

Nice, looking forward to it.

The new release installs more pkgconfig (.pc) files, thus it should
become easier to guess the correct flags and libs.

Regards,

Thanks again for your answers. They are very helpful to me.
