I have installed OpenMPI and a package called CVODE onto my Ubuntu system, which is running in a virtual machine (using VirtualBox). There was one problem which was worked around by copying some library files to /usr/lib. In other words, the following happened when I tried the example programs that came with CVODE:
$ mpirun ./cvAdvDiff_bnd
cvAdvDiff_bnd: error while loading shared libraries: libsundials_cvode.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ sudo cp /home/jeff/sundials/instdir/lib/libsundials_cvode.so.1 /usr/lib/libsundials_cvode.so.1
$ mpirun cvAdvDiff_bnd
cvAdvDiff_bnd: error while loading shared libraries: libsundials_nvecserial.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ sudo cp /home/jeff/sundials/instdir/lib/libsundials_nvecserial.so.0 /usr/lib/libsundials_nvecserial.so.0
$ mpirun cvAdvDiff_bnd

The problems finding those two files were solved by copying them to /usr/lib. However, there are hundreds of files in ~/sundials/instdir/lib/.
How can I get Ubuntu to look for those files in their current location instead of copying them all to /usr/lib/?
