Thanks for your response, Justin. I must have missed it! But the
problem is that it could not solve my problem yet.

You had suggested to specify the location of mpicc with an MPICC
environment variable. But my system does not have "mpicc", but it has
"mpcc" instead, which is detected by configure script alright. This
was the same case for Xavier (who had started the other thread).

Now when I try to follow his script posted at
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2008-November/037973.html ,
I find that it does not work for me. Error is:

checking for mpxlc... mpcc -q64 -compiler xlc_r
checking whether the MPI cc command works... configure: error: Cannot
compile and link MPI code with mpcc -q64 -compiler xlc_r

Is there any way I can find out what are the proper flags to be used
for the AIX compilers without consulting the cluster admin?!

I am kind of stuck with this problem!

Suman.
