[gmx-developers] Compilers

[Justin A. Lemkul]

According to the source code download site:

"WARNING: do not use the gcc 4.1.x set of compilers. They are broken. These 
compilers come with recent Linux distrubutions like Fedora 5/6 etc."

I can attest that gcc 4.0.1 seems to have generated no problems for me. 
Anything later than that is suspect, as evidenced by strange behavior documented 
on the users list.
