[gmx-users] Integrating with BOINC: failing at minimization

[Jack Shultz]

Hello,

I've tried a couple ways of running the workshop tutorial with a
different protein and amber03 force field. It works with a clean
install of gromacs, but I am trying to integrate it into a grid
computing project.

I tried several approaches to running this app but encountered a
strange problem in both approaches to integrating. It always has
trouble minimizing. This indicates to me, there is something strange
with the environment that I created. If you have any hints for me that
would be great. The two approaches I tried were:
1) putting all the dependent files in the same directory as the binary
and executing it, this failed when I tested it stand alone and it
created this same error
2) I tried writing a bash script to mimics the GMXRC.bash except it
maps every directory relative to a temporary directory where
everything runs. (e.g. GMXBIN=../slot/0/bin/)
It seems to run fine through a workunit but then it does not minimize
properly causing additional problems downstream
