[gmx-users] Problems compiling gromacs-3.1.4 using MIPSpro 7.3.1.3m compiler on IRIX 6.5

[Markus Meier]

Dear all

I have problems to compile gromacs-3.1.4 on IRIX64 v. 6.5 using the 
MIPSpro 7.3.1.3m compiler.
The same code compiles without problems on Mac OS X using gcc or OSF1 
alpha using Compaq C V6.3-029 compiler.
Did someone else run into the same difficulties (and was maybe able to 
find a fix?)

I used the following configuration:

setenv CFLAGS "-64 -mips4 -I/progs/include"
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/mips4 -L/usr/lib64/r10000 
-L/progs/lib64"
./configure --prefix=/progs/app/gromacs-3.1.4 
--exec-prefix=/progs/app/gromacs-3.1.4 --enable-shared --with-x

The compilation aborts at fnbf.c with the following error:

Making all in src
         cd .. \
           && CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=src/config.h \
              /bin/sh ./config.status

Thank you for your help!
