[gmx-users] strange behavior upon compiling 4.0.4

[Ken Rotondi]

Hello all,

I'm trying to help a student build gromacs_4.0.4 on a MacBook Pro  
running 10.5. The program configures with out a hitch, but compiling  
with the make command ends in a recursive error. It seems that it's  
not finding something that it should have installed itself, but I  
wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ken
