Confirming this is fixed in scalapack 2.0 (2.0.2-1exp3 is now in
experimental.

The initialisation code in BLACS/SRC/blacs_pinfo_.c now no longer
depends on whether Main is in F77 or not, i.e. the single 
libscalapack-openmpi.so library should be sufficient for use from both
C (via Cblacs_pinfo) or Fortran (via blacs_pinfo_).

Will close this bug when scalapack 2.0 transitions into unstable.
