[gmx-users] Installation on IBM A.I.X.5.2.0.0

Dear GMX users:

	I met a trouble when I installed Gromacs on IBM A.I.X 5.2.0.0, and I still failed to install it after I checked the mailing list and found ways to fix my problem. So I want to list my problem here beging for your helps.

	I installed the fftw. And the installation finished successfully. The order I used is showed below.
export CC=xlc;
export MPICC=mpcc;
export F77=xlf;
export CXX=xlC;
export CFLAGS="-O3 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qansialias -w"
export FFLAGS="-O3 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qansialias -qstrict -w"

./configure --enable-type-prefix --prefix=.../fftw312
make
make install
./configure --enable-type-prefix --prefix=.../fftw312 --enable-float
make
make install

	Then, with environment parameters above unchanged, and adding these parameters, I startet to install a serial Gromacs.

export CPPFLAGS=-I .../fftw312/include
export LDFLAGS=-L .../fftw312/lib

	The step below can finish successfully
./configure --prefix=.../gmx33 --exec-prefix=.../gmx33 --enable-float --disable-fortran --disable-largefile --without-x --disable-vectorized-sqrt
    
	But when I typed the order "make", It would stop with saying:

"gmx_fft_fftw3.c", line 186.8: 1506-068 (S) Operation between types "void*" and "int" is not allowed.
"gmx_fft_fftw3.c", line 190.8: 1506-068 (S) Operation between types "void*" and "int" is not allowed.

	And if I install a parallel Gromacs. It cannot finish the "configure" step with saying:

	"cannot calculate the size of 'int'"
	
	And I checked the config.log. And found that there was some problem on "conftest.c" like this:

configure:2954: xlc_r -c  -I/u/lixy/bin/fftw/include conftest.c >&5
"conftest.c", line 22.14: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text me encountered.
"conftest.c", line 22.8: 1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier choke.
configure:2960: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */
| 
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "GROMACS"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "gromacs"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "3.3.1"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "GROMACS 3.3.1"
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "gmx-users at gromacs.org"
| #define PACKAGE "gromacs"
| #define VERSION "3.3.1"
| #define GMX_FORTRAN
| #define GMX_SOFTWARE_SQRT
| #define GMX_QMMM_GAUSSIAN
| #define BUILD_TIME "Thu Mar 29 03:28:25 GMT 2007"
| #define BUILD_USER "lixy at d35n01"
| #define BUILD_MACHINE "AIX 2 0025EECD4C00"
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
| 
| int
| main ()
| {
| #ifndef __GNUC__
|        choke me
| #endif
| 
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:2986: result: no

    And I also change the environment as below, but I met the same error.

export CC=xlc;
export MPICC=mpcc;
export F77=xlf;
export CXX=xlC;
export CFLAGS="-O2 -qarch=pwr2 -qtune=pwr2"
export FFLAGS="-O2 -qarch=pwr2 -qtune=pwr2"

	Could anybody here help me. Any more ideas would be very much appreciated.
