[gmx-users] Gromacs3.3 Compilation on IBM powerpc

[Yinghong]

Dear users:

I have successfully installed fftw2.1.3 and single version Gromacs3.3 on IBM powerpc Aix5.2.0.0 with the following environmental variables:

setenv CC xlc
setenv MPICC mpcc
setenv F77 xlf
setenv CXX xlC
setenv CPPFLAGS -I.../fftw_213/include
setenv LDFLAGS -L.../fftw_213/lib
setenv CFLAGS "-O3 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qansialias -w"
setenv FFLAGS "-O3 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qansialias -qstrict -w"

Now, I would like to compile the parallel version of Gromacs3.3, and I did it as the follows:
1. make disclean;  
2. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/gromacs33 --exec-prefix=$HOME/gromacs33 --enable-float --disable-fortran --disable-largefile --without-x --disable-
vectorized-sqrt --with-fft=fftw2 --enable-mpi --program-suffix=_mpi

It is worthy noting that the all parameters for ./configure are the same as perviously successful single version, except that "--enable-mpi --program-suffix=_mpi" is added in compiling MPI version. However, compilation can not pass because of the following reason. If anybody encountered such an error, could you give me some suggestion? How to deal with it? Any help will be extermely appreciately.
