Ok, so it left OPENPMD_LIBS_DIRS empty b/c /usr/local/lib64 is one of
the "well known" directories that one assumes the system will
automatically search in. Might not true on all systems and OSs (macOS
comes to mind as usual) though. 

OPENMP_INC_DIRS = /usr/local/lib64 sounds a bit fishy to me, but seems
be there for Fortran support.

Thank you.

My suggestion would be to add -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib64 to LDFLAGS
or /usr/local/lib64 to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Are
there any other libraries in /usr/local/lib64 ?

You could try and see what directories are configured in
/etc/ld.so.conf which on my Debian box ends up being:

/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

ok.

Yours,
