Before encountering the script in the cited post, I was doing just
that. My configure script was:

export CPPFLAGS=-I/home/phd/02/csdsuman/FFTW/FFTW320/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/home/phd/02/csdsuman/FFTW/FFTW320/lib

builddir=/home/hpcscratch/csdsuman/Gromacs/GMX402

./configure --prefix=${builddir} --program-suffix="_mpi" --without-x
--disable-largefile --enable-mpi

But it ended with the aforesaid problem:

checking for int... yes
checking size of int... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (int)

But as you suggested, may be I should go back to our cluster admin,
though it is excruciatingly difficult to find him at the right place
at the right time! :(


Regards,
Suman.
