Jack, Let me try to explain this again. It has nothing to do with software built outside of fink, it has only to do with the way that the fink packaging system works. I'm going to explain this slowly, since we are miscommunicating, so please be patient and read the whole thing! In fact,

[Fink-devel] 64-bit libraries in fink

Dave, If you intend to allow lammpi and lammpi2 to coexist, then files will have to be moved in the old lammpi package. Specifically you will have to duplicate what I did for the new lammpi and openmpi packages where the mpicc, mpic++ and mpif77 compilers have been converted into symlinks
