This usually means that the libraries used to build the executable and
the mpirun command don't belong together. In other words, either the
libraries used for building, or the shared libraries used at run time
(if you use shared libraries), or the mpirun executable are not what
you think they are.

make texmex SILENT=no shows you (at the end) which libraries are used
during the build.

ldd exe/cactus_texmex (or otool -L exe/cactus_texmex) shows which
shared libraries will be used. Certain environment variables influence
this; make sure you use the same settings that you use when you call
mpirun.

"which mpirun" shows which mpirun will be used.
