On Linux, Condor will want a binary submitted into the standard universe 
to be statically linked.

I'd suggest first trying to get the program statically linked without 
worrying about Condor; then assuming I can get that working, then run 
condor_compile.

From your compile line above, get rid of "condor_compile", "-fPIC", and 
the "-rdynamic" options.   Does g++ build your program OK ?  You may 
have errors if your system only has dynamic versions of all the various 
libraries (files with .so in the filename) you specified with the -l 
options instead of statically linked ones (that end in .a).  Most of the 
time, systems have both the dynamically and statically linked versions 
installed.

Speaking of libraries you are using, I notice "-lmpich" in your compile 
line.  Is this an MPI parallel job?  If so, you probably want to use 
Condor's parallel universe, not the standard universe.  The parallel 
universe does NOT require (or expect) you to use condor_compile.  You 
only need to use condor_compile to submit standard universe jobs.

hope this helps,
Todd
