I used sudo apt-get install mpich in the Terminal. Everything installed just fine. But now I must edit an rc file for mgrid2 according to these instructions. One thing I must specify is the path where mpich is installed and I cannot find it! I did find its .h files in /usr/include but am certain that isn't the correct path. I've pasted the install output below.
Any thoughts on how to find where mpich installed? I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.

EDIT-
The instructions suggest the path /usr/x86-local/mpich/ch_p4 but I don't have a /usr/x86-local/ just a usr/local and it's not there.
find /usr -name mpich and whereis mpich returned:
/usr/share/doc/mpich --copyright info and shortcuts stored here
/usr/include/mpich --.h files stored here
/usr/lib/mpich --shortcut to /usr/include/mpich only
which mpicc and whereis mpicc returned:
/usr/bin/mpicc.mpich
/usr/bin/mpicc
/usr/bin/mpicc.mpich2
/usr/share/man/man1/mpicc.1.gz
Point is, nothing I've tried so far had the subdirectory ch_p4 in it when I did an ls.
