This just shows that the symbol appears in Simple.so, but it doesn't tell if that occurrence is the implementation (i.e. the instance of a variable, code of a function, etc.) of the symbol, or just a reference to an external implementation, which it very likely is in that particular case...

Use objdump -tT, or nm on the other libs and look for the type of the symbol ("*UND*" means it's an undefined/external reference) to find out more. Presumably the symbol should be in defined/implemented in libmpich-p4mpd.so.1.0.
