Confirming this is fixed in scalapack 2.0 (2.0.2-1exp3 is now in experimental. The initialisation code in BLACS/SRC/blacs_pinfo_.c now no longer depends on whether Main is in F77 or not, i.e. the single libscalapack-openmpi.so library should be sufficient for use from both C (via Cblacs_pinfo) or Fortran (via blacs_pinfo_). Will close this bug when scalapack 2.0 transitions into unstable. Drew
