[gmx-users] gromacs installation in IBM BLUEGENE

[Anupam Nath Jha]

Dear all

I've tried compiling both version 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of GROMACS on an IBM Blue
Gene/L system but get the same error message with each version.

To compile the GROMACS I've used the following settings/configure flags:

./configure                                                                \
  --enable-mpi                                                                  \
  --enable-float                                                                \
  --program-suffix=_mpi                                                         \
  --prefix=/home/phd/04/mbuanjha/soft/gmx332                                    \
  --enable-type-prefix                                                          \
  --enable-all-static                                                           \
  --disable-nice                                                                \
  --disable-shared                                                              \
  --disable-threads                                                             \

  --without-x                                                                   \
  --without-malloc                                                              \
  --with-fft=fftw3                                                              \
  --enable-ppc-altivec                                                          \

at the time of running this, i got few warning, as:

configure:26419: WARNING: Couldn't find XDR headers and/or libraries - using our
own
configure:26428: checking for working memcmp
configure:26517: result: no

but when i make mdrun, it gives error:

(cd ./src/gmxlib && make ; exit 0)

and stops.

thanks in advance
