[gmx-users] fftw3f errors despite having the right libraries in the right places installation on MAC

[Mark Abraham]

Standard procedure is to do

./configure
make
sudo make install

or

./configure --prefix=/somewhere/you/can/write/to
make
make install

I suggest you use sudo to get rid of your progress to date and start again.
Using sudo anywhere else is a recipe for trouble.
