Description
I have a library A that requires hdf5. It only needs the serial version.
However, it also links with B that is linked with the parallel version, as it uses some of the parallel symbols.
While linking, I link like -lhdf5 -lB, which returns without errors, as all symbols in A are satisfied, but fails later at run time, because B has undefined symbols, as the serial version of hdf5 is linked.
I am not sure about this, but I think the clean solution would be to split out the parallel symbols into a sub-library, and if parallel symbols are expected, pull in the sub-library.
That way the serial version cannot conflict with the parallel version.
