That sounds like it will cause other problems.  Do your applications still run 
correctly after the rename?

I'm guessing that they aren't working.  I've hit this (not the "libmpi.so" name 
issue) in the past when linking statically instead of dynamically.

How are you compiling and linking your code?  With "mpicc"?

What does "ldd YOUR_BINARY_HERE" give you?  You should see lines that look like 
this in the output:

----8<----
        libmpich.so.6 => /sandbox/goodell/mpich2-installed/lib/libmpich.so.6 
(0x00007fb786ffa000)
        libopa.so.1 => /sandbox/goodell/mpich2-installed/lib/libopa.so.1 
(0x00007fb786df8000)
        libmpl.so.1 => /sandbox/goodell/mpich2-installed/lib/libmpl.so.1 
(0x00007fb786bf1000)
----8<----
