I'd interpret it as you've got things stashed in strange places (whereis looks in a well-defined set of places). On my machine: whereis libmpi.so libmpi: /usr/local/lib/libmpi.la /usr/local/lib/libmpi.so Try: find / -name 'libmpi*' Or work out how to convince yum to show you all installed files from that package. In apt-based systems this is easy. I'd be surprised if it's not in yum.
