[gmx-users] Re: stepsize too small: help to solve problem in GROMACS installation

[Anna Marabotti]

Dear Justin, dear all,
sorry for not having seen the warning before asking the question about
compilers (just a little justification, however: the warning appears only on
the Download page, not on the Installation page; I went directly to the
installation page and I did not notice it).

The only other possibility we have is to try compiling GROMACS with gcc-442
compiler. This time I checked more carefully (at least, I hope so!) on the
site and it seems to me that no problems are reported. For your experience,
is it a good choice or we can expect other problems? In this last case, what
do you suggest as the best compiler for Gromacs?

Thank you again and best regards.
Anna

Assuming that "gcc-412" implies that the compiler is gcc-4.1.2, then you
should 
take note of the big, bold warning on the Gromacs Downloads page:

"WARNING: do not use the gcc 4.1.x set of compilers. They are broken. These 
compilers come with recent Linux distrubutions like Fedora 5/6 etc."
