Hi,

The spec-files are located in the admin subdiretory if you unpack the
source code distribution from the .tar.gz file. Not sure if it's included in
the
source rpm, though.

Compile lam first, then fftw, fftw-mpi, and finally gromacs and/or
gromacs-mpi.

Since LAM requires that the program is compiled with the same version as
it is run with you might have to hardcode some dependencies in the
spec-files.

Sorry if this is a little fuzzy, but I normally never compile from the
source rpm -
if you have unpacked the gromacs tarball and place a copy of the tarball
itself
in the gromacs-3.0.x directory you can just issue "make rpm" or "make
mpi-rpm"
there..
