[gmx-users] Fftw and gromac build

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi,

Sounds normal. You cannot initialize the MPI environment unless the  
virtual parallel computer has been initialized with lamboot.

Are you starting mdrun as

mpirun -np 9 mdrun_mpi ... <other args>


The extra -np command to mdrun_mpi is usually not necessary - all  
modern MPI implementations provide it to the program automatically if  
you have given it to mpirun.


Cheers,

Erik
