[gmx-users] Gromacs compilation on SUN

[Choon Peng]

Hi fellow users,

  I'm trying to compile Gromacs 3.1.4 on a SUN server running Solaris 9
and with the SUN Forte CC compiler. I encountered this error:

./configure --prefix=/home/cpchng/Gromacs-single

configure: error: Linking to Fortran libraries from C fails.

Has anyone encountered this before? Can't seem to find anything on the
mailing lists.
Thanks
