Hi, I was installing GROMACS-5.1.4 with MPI option in the server. It yielded the following error,
[ 6%] Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libgromacs_mpi.so /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libmpich.a(allreduce.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/lib/libmpich.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lib/libgromacs_mpi.so.1.4.0] Error 1 make[1]: *** [src/gromacs/CMakeFiles/libgromacs.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 As the available suggestions on the internet suggested, I recompiled the mpich with --enable-shared option and also setting the CXXFLAGS as -fPIC. It still doesn't work. Can you please help?
