For future reference, I was able to install gromacs and this is what finally worked - installing gromacs in a folder different than the untared. It somehow helped to not create the folder but just directly using the name in the prefix
301 cd gromacs 302 ls 303 export CPPFLAGS="-I/fs/home/sm868/fftw-3.2.2/include" 304 export LDFLAGS="-L/fs/home/sm868/fftw-3.2.2/lib" 305 clear 306 ls 307 ./configure --help 308 ./configure --prefix=/fs/home/sm868/gromacsnew 309 make &>log 310 ls 311 jmacs log 312 grep "error" log 313 grep "Error" log 314 make install I got the msg - GROMACS is installed under /fs/home/sm868/gromacsnew. Make sure to update your PATH and MANPATH to find the programs and unix manual pages, and possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf if you are using dynamic libraries. Thanks for the help. *One question - There is already another version of gromacs installed in the /usr/local so I used a different directory to install it. Now do I need to use "make links"?* * * Pooja On Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 2:17 AM, Sai Pooja <[email protected]> wrote: > I redid the entire thing after that first mail in which i reported the > error related to fftw(including running the make uninstall commands and > removing the folders entirely and getting fresh ones).
