[gmx-developers] Building from CVS error; problem with install path: system type lost

[Ken Rotondi]

Hi Marc,

Don't know if this is any help, but wanted to report on the same 
subject. When I installed the CVS version I used:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/grocvs --enable-mpi

So I could run both the CVS and 3.2.1 code.

As a result the /bin file with the CVS executables are in:

/usr/local/grocvs/bin

as opposed to the 3.2.1 release executables, which are in:

/usr/local/gromacs/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin

All so, as was mentioned earlier today, I was not able to compile the 
CVS code with mpi using self compiled lam-mpi 7.1.1, while using the 
lam-mpi 6.5.4.rpm resulted in a smooth build of CVS-mpi

For what it's worth...

Ken
