Right, but as far as I know we only have Fortran kernels for IBM BG
and I don't know of any other Fortran code. However, someone else
shoud pitch in here because I might as well be wrong. Devs, anyone?

On the other hand, I myself have compiled with Intel Compiler on
Ubuntu and not only and never had problems. Are you using some
external libraries except FFTW (BLAS, LAPACK)?

Thanks! Feel free to just push patches to gerrit whenever you find something!

Here's the guide with the few lines of command you'll need to set up
your git for gerrit: http://www.gromacs.org/Developer_Zone/Git/Gerrit
