[CP2K-user] [CP2K:22408] Re: CP2K 2026.2 on ubuntu 22.04 + oneAPI: The MPI_Comm_c2f() function was called before MPI_INIT was invoked.

The linker links to two mpi libraries, the oneapi one and 
libmpi.so.40 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpi.so.40 (0x00007fa2f60c9000)

This probably causes the problems. You need to remove the system mpi from 
the linker, so it only links the oneapi one.
