Hi there,
I have installed a couple of days ago the latest (4.6.3) version of
Gromacs, in a 12-core Xeon machine using the latest version (14.0) of
the non-comercial Intel C++ compiler for linux.
The installation seems to have succeeded, but I ran the latest set of
tests available (4.6.1) and most of the tests PASSED, but still many of
them FAILED.
I've checked the tests that failed, and all of them are related to the
grompp. Performing a <grep "FAILED"> in the output of the <./gmxtest.pl
all> command gives the following:

--------------------------------------------------------
Now, looking at the grompp.out files (or in the grompp.warn file), they
all seem to have more then the 2 warnings that are in the reference.warn
file. For instance:
---------------------------------------------------------
hcgeorg@araguaia:~/source/regressiontests-4.6.1> cat
kernel/nb_kernel_ElecEwSw_VdwLJSw_GeomW3P1/grompp.warn
WARNING 1 [file topol.top, line 103]:
The bond in molecule-type Protein between atoms 1 N and 2 H1 has an
estimated oscillational period of 1.0e-02 ps, which is less than 5 times
the time step of 2.0e-03 ps.
Maybe you forgot to change the constraints mdp option.
WARNING 2 [file grompp.mdp]:
Can not exclude the lattice Coulomb energy between energy groups
WARNING 3 [file grompp.mdp]:
The sum of the two largest charge group radii (0.077669) is larger than
rlist (0.900000) - rvdw (0.900000).
With exact cut-offs, better performance can be obtained with
cutoff-scheme = Verlet, because it does not use charge groups at all.
WARNING 4 [file grompp.mdp]:
The sum of the two largest charge group radii (0.168825) is larger than
rlist (0.900000) - rcoulomb (0.900000).
With exact cut-offs, better performance can be obtained with
cutoff-scheme = Verlet, because it does not use charge groups at all.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Is this something to worry about? Or just a problem of difference
versions giving different levels of warnings?
Thanks in advance
