[gmx-users] handling particle decomposition with distance restraints

[Chris Neale]

Let me re-emphasize that the pull code may be a good solution for you.

As per your request, I currently use the following without any problems:

fftw 3.1.2
gromacs 3.3.1 or 4.0.4
openmpi 1.2.6

Be especially aware that openmpi 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 are broken, as I posted 
here:

http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-March/040844.html


To be clear, I have never experienced any openmpi-based problems with 
any version of gromacs 4 and openmpi 1.2.6.

I posted the original notice of our problems with openmpi (1.2.1) that 
were solved by using lam here.
