Dear Gromacs users,

I want to write new analyses for gromacs and compile it (so I'll have
g_whatever) as part of the gromacs package.
Per the instructions I found on gromacs website, I installed kdevelop and opened
the gromacs as a project using kdevelop. However I have two questions:
1) When I try to compile gromacs source, through kdevelop, I get a "permission
denied" error. I think it is because gromacs installation requires root
privileges. Any suggestions on how to bypass that, so I won't have to use
kdevelop as root (which is a *really* bad idea)? (e.g., installing gromacs
without root?)

Assuming you're trying to compile template.c in some system-level directory, you're certain to run into that problem. Compile in a different location.

2) Are there any guidelines for writing new g_whatever analyses? Or any general
suggestions on how to approach it?


Write good code? ;) I don't really know what you're asking here, but if you want pointers for writing code, you'll need to at least state what you're doing.
