Cally, there is no general answer to your question. Different implementations of MPI require different things. You need to learn what files a C++ program using your MPI needs when linking. Be sure to include your MPI library for C++, if there is one.

For example, on one of our Linux clusters:

MPI_LIBRARY:
/usr/local/packages/mvapich2/lib/libmpich.so

MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY:
-L/usr/local/packages/mvapich2/lib;-Wl,-rpath;-Wl,/usr/local/packages/mvapich2/lib;-lmpichcxx;-lmpich;-L/usr/lib64;-lrdmacm;-libverbs;-l
ibumad;-lpthread;-lrt
