HP MLIB User's Guide Vol. 2 7th Ed.

Chapter 11 Introduction to Distributed SuperLU 723
Accessing Distributed SuperLU
Only 64-bit addressing is supported in the SuperLU_DIST8 library.
The file name of the archive SuperLU_DIST and SuperLU_DIST8 libraries are
libsuperlu_dist.a and libsuperlu_dist8.a respectively. The SuperLU_DIST
shared library for PA is libsuperlu_dist.sl and for Itanium is libsuperlu_dist.so.
The SuperLU_DIST8 shared library for PA is libsuperlu_dist8.sl and for
Itanium and Linux is libsuperlu_dist8.so.
Performance of your applications is better when you use archive libraries.
However, if you need to keep executable files to a minimum size, you can use
shared libraries.
Compiling and linking (SuperLU_DIST)
There are several ways to link your program with the version of
SuperLU_DIST tuned for the machine on which the program runs. By default,
the −lsuperlu_dist option on the mpif90 or mpicc command line that links
your program selects the library that corresponds to 32-bit addressing on the
machine on which you link.
NOTE Unlike other MLIB libraries, executable files using the SuperLU_DIST
and SuperLU_DIST8 libraries must be linked using either mpif90 or
mpicc, instead of f90 or cc.
