Hi, The mpivars.sh genereted in openmpi.spec might in some cases lead to a LD_LIBRARY_PATH that contains a trailing ":". This happens if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is originally unset. This means that current directory is included in the search path for the loader, which might not be the desired result.
The following patch proposal fixes this potential issue by adding the ":" only if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is already set.
