Again lib instead lib64. in mpich.py block.

@pmatousu Should be fixed with #1403, please check?

[pmatousu]

Yes, this worked for me (I just did not use both lib and lib64), the change worked and build was successful. So suggested change will work.

[boegel]

@pmatousu OK, thanks for confirming.

BTW, you can usually run eb --module-only after you've fixed the sanity check in either the easyconfig or the easyblock, you don't need to restart the whole installation...

[boegel]

#1403 merged, so closing this, thanks for reporting @pmatousu!
