[gmx-users] Possible problem in trxio.c

[Claudio J. Margulis]

I am trying to compile gromacs on an dual opteron machine with the 
Portland Group compilers and find exactly the same problems as described by
Pierfrancesco Zuccato and others.

i.e.

/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile mpicc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. 
-I../../src  -I../../include 
-DGMXLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/gromacs-pgi-64-mpi/share/top\" 
-I/usr/local/fftw-2.1.5-pgi-64/include -I/usr/include/libxml2  -fast -pc 
32 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -c -o tpxio.lo `test -f 'tpxio.c' || echo 
'./'`tpxio.c
mpicc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I../../include 
-DGMXLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/gromacs-pgi-64-mpi/share/top\" 
-I/usr/local/fftw-2.1.5-pgi-64/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -fast -pc 
32 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -c tpxio.c -o tpxio.o
PGC-W-0095-Type cast required for this conversion (tpxio.c: 997)
PGC-S-0090-Scalar data type required for logical expression (tpxio.c: 1322)
PGC/x86-64 Linux/x86-64 6.0-4: compilation completed with severe errors

I have seen another recent post from march on this problem, but no answer.  Pierfrancesco suggests to change the following lines
"
 In order to correct this I changed in tpxio.c: 1322
> 
>  /*   if (*box) copy_mat(state.box,box); */
>     if((void*) box) copy_mat(state.box,box);

"
Is this what is suggested as a solution?

Thanks for your help and cooperation!!
