Dear Justin:

-------------------------
Program mdrun_d, VERSION 4.0.4
Source code file: gmx_fft_mkl.c, line: 825

Fatal error:
Error executing Intel MKL FFT.
-------------------------------------------------------

I really could not find out what is the reason for the error above. Do you
mean something is wrong with the installation. if this is the case then
should I re-install it?

This morning I did the same procedure with the same input file using
gromacs-3.3.3 ( which means I did all the editconf, genbox EM, and mdrun in
3.3.3) and the mdrun works well. So I think there must be something wrong
with the 4.0.4. How can I fix this?

Anyone had the same problem before?
