[gmx-users] installation of gromacs

[Diego Enry]

The most basic question is: did you install FFTW as root or superuser ?

sudo make install


If so, try to provide fftw /lib and /include locations (using CPPFLAGS
and LDFLAGS) while configuring GMX. (from the Installation
Instructions)

setenv CPPFLAGS -I/home/joe/fftw/include
setenv LDFLAGS -L/home/joe/fftw/lib

If your shell is bash:

export CPPFLAGS="-I/home/joe/fftw/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/home/joe/fftw/lib"


*If that does not work. Follow cmake instructions.

** I have this problem with ubuntu 10.04, even though FFTW is ok I can
only Cmake finds fftw. (even providing CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS)
