[gmx-users] Gromacs Installation

[majid hasan]

Okay, I'll try with --enable-single. But as far as I understood, it seems like 
its an issue with --enable-shared. In the first attempt, I did enable-shared in 
fftw configuration, but didn't do it in gromacs configuration, and got this 
error. In the second attempt, I did enable-shared in ./configure for both fftw 
and gromacs, but still got the same message. In the third attempt, I didn't 
enable shared anywhere, and installation went well. Only issue is that when I 
run ngmx, it says "command not found", and I can't view .trr file, but this 
seems to be a different issue. But I don't know why --enable-shared isn't 
working.

About installing in home directory: actually I downloaded the source from 
gromacs website, and I did manage to install it in my home directory. But some 
of the commands, like luck, and ngmx are missing. When I type any of luck, I 
get, command not found and you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install 
gromacs. I did try to download it using apt-get and software center in ubuntu, 
but it installs it in usr/share/gromacs, but I want to install it in my home 
directory.

Thanks,
Majid

1. Seems the default fftw configuration is double, 
    when you install the fftw-3.2.2 configure with --enable single.

2. about your question:"I wanted to ask if I can download gromacs in my home 
directory using the ubuntu software center or synaptic manager?"

1] You can download in your home directory and install. 

2] a better but a bit not so-easy way, is download the source 
(http://packages.debian.org/sid/gromacs), built the package and add it into 
repository.

There maybe also some other ways.

HTH,
