[gmx-users] installing 3.2 with icc

[Erik Lindahl]

You will need to set the variable 'CC' to icc too.

Gromacs needs a non-mpi compiler for building the program that is run 
to create the inner loops during the compile.

This needs to be a non-mpi compiler, since many supercomputing centers 
won't allow you to execute code linked with the MPI libraries on the 
login node (where you are compiling).

The flags are detected automatically for MPICC, but then make tries to 
use the same ones for 'CC', which fails because of the different 
compiler.

I might try to work around it in the future, but since you have the 
compiler it should be trivial to just set the environment variable :-)

Cheers,

Erik
