[gmx-users] intel compiler + amd64: help needed.

[Jones de Andrade]

Hi David.

First, thanks for your time. ;)

Unfortunatelly, it seems that the simple flag it is not quite enough
still... :(

If it was not a well known fact that intel compiler yelds you some extra
performance for gromacs, and if I would not want to try to make QM/MM of
gromacs+cpmd (and, in this case, I DO prefer to not mix compilers), I would
have gave up this compiler already. :(

Well, here is what I got: I tried to put the suggested "CFLAGS" as an option
in the "make" line, and that didn't work. So I set the CFLAGS by hand before
the make. Since tht was not enough too, I did the compilations by hand, one
compilation line after the other. Here we go (before anybody asks: it failed
at the exact same point...  :(  ):

Unfortunately, it means that I'm back to the beggining. I've also tried the
"-debug extended" option instead of "-g", and that yelded exactly same
results... :( Any suggestion at this point?

Thanks a lot in advance.
