You have a broken MPI installation since linking to libmpich fails, and nothing is going to work. You probably have to reinstall MPI. I would tend to recommend against MPICH, which I think is getting long in the tooth. A nicer, more modern free-software MPI version is OpenMPI (http://www.open-mpi.org/).
