[gmx-users] doubel precision

[Yuguang Mu]

Whem I compiled double precision of 3.1.4, it seems work,
it has such printing:

Testing x86 processor CPUID...

Testing x86 SSE2 capabilities...
No SSE2 support found for this CPU.

In this case, it is better to recompile the program switch off the
assembly loop and enable fortran ?
by
--disable-x86-asm --enable-fortran
