[gmx-users] A question on GROMACS installation on MAC (G4,OS X 10.3.2)

[Hwankyu Lee]

Thank you for your answers.  But, I still have same problems...
When I installed fftw-2.1.3.tar.gz in mac (G4, OS X 10.3.2), I already  
used "--enable-float" for single precision.  but, when I installed  
gromacs there, I still had this error "configure: error: Cannot find  
any single precision sfftw.h or fftw.h".   I would like to know how I  
can fix this problem....

best,
Hwankyu.
