[gmx-developers] compiling from tarball on ubuntu

[Szilárd Páll]

Hi René,

This all sounds _very_ strange. I only have 64 bit systems around, but
on those (Ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10 with gcc 4.4.3/4.3/4 and 4.3.4
respectively) gromacs 4.0.5 runs just fine.

I didn't use any magic while compiling either:
$ ../configure --prefix=/home/pszilard/tmp/gromacs-4.0.5-install &&
make -j4 && make install

I'll look around and see if I can find a 32 bit system and check.
