[gmx-users] Parallel installation core2 quad -mpi?

Hello everyone,

I'm coming back to Gromacs. Before installing gromacs on our new SC I want to 
do it on my desktop running SuSe 11.1 on an Intel Core2 Quad Q6700 @2.66GHz 
CPU-arch.

Gromacs version 4.0.3
gmxtests version 4.0.4 

1. Are these compatible? I could find neither a testset for 4.0.3 nor a 
version 4.0.4 of gromacs!

2. The parallel installation (with --enable-mpi) leads to failure in all 
tests. Can I run MPI-parallel runs with lam on my cpu at all? lamboot is 
scared to be run by root and tests get some permission denied message for 
grompp when run otherwise. How is the whole OpenMP(I) story going on?

3. normal installation (without --enable-mpi) leads to failure in (complex 
only) "field", "tip4p" and "water". concerning pdb2gmx:

Error not all 45 pdb2gmx tests have been done successfully
Only 44 energies in the log file

however, -np 2 or 4 leads to a faster finishing  with everything t he same 
other than "only 0 energies in the log file"!

I'm wondering how does it all go parallel with no mpi?

Thanks in advance,
Peyman

P.S. Here are checkpot.out and checkvir.out for tip4p (test with no -np). 
Those of field and water are similar.
