 I'm not making that assumption. Up to recently, scalapack had
 BuildRequires: openmpi-devel (which no longer exists after you reverted my
 changes), and a detected Requires on openmpi's shared libraries. It is
 specific to the mpi stack it was built against.

 The problem is that once installed, the scalapack shared libraries can't
 find the openmpi shared library symbols, and anything linked against
 scalapack will refuse to start.
