I think this problem may occur if the binaries which you are using
are not re-compiled with the version of mvapich you have installed.

Assuming that you have installed MVAPICH in directory MPI_HOME, please
make sure that the programs which you are trying to execute are compiled
with mpicc present in MPI_HOME/bin/mpicc. Also, please use
MPI_HOME/bin/mpirun_rsh for running the programs. IMHO, this should
solve the problem for you.

Please let us know the outcome of your experimentation.

Thanks and regards,
