Whoever designed the application you're trying to use to work only
with LIBS="-lmpi" indicates poor software engineering and a
low-quality application.
You can install or uninstall whatever you like but it is incorrect to
think that MPICH is broken because it does not provide libmpi.{a,so}.
In the absence of a sufficient understanding of how to link against
MPI, your best bet is to use CC=mpicc (and friends for LD, CXX,
FC,...).
