The LS-DYNA lam-7.0.3 build which I am working with right now uses lam built
with --enable-shared. If you aren't familiar with your installation, you
could find out by running ldd against your mpp970. As Jeff mentioned, it
would show a dependency on libmpi.so.

If you have requirements which aren't satisfied by the current LS-DYNA
release, you should discuss it with the developers. I don't speak for
them...
