[gmx-users] RE:RE: gromacs installation

[Szilárd Páll]

Hi,

Based on the message it seem that autom4te (part of the autoconf
tools) can't write some temporary file to the standard temp location
/tmp. That would quite strange as if the temp directory is not there
$TMPDIR should be defined, but I suspect it's not, otherwise autom4te
would have picked it up.

Can you confirm that you don't have permission to write in neither
/tmp nor $TMPDIR (if non-emty)?

Unless it's some really tricky issue, I suspect that the configuration
of the cluster you are using might be broken.

One thing you can try is to use CMake (see http://goo.gl/GF5Cx), you
might get lucky and be able to avoid the problem.

Cheers,
