[gmx-users] bug in 'make install' triggered by Solaris 8/GCC 3.1

[Nathan I. Sharfi]

After getting the fftw pkgadd-style package from www.fftw.org, I installed
gromacs with ./configure CC=gcc (went fine, it seemed) and then make (no
problems there, either). However, for the 'make install' part, I got this
odd snag after it had been doing install-related things:


# ...

I'm not sure what caused the error, nor what other files I could provide to
shed some light on the subject. What do I do now?

TIA,
