Hi all,

Finally I compiled it successfully when I used the following commands:

1077  ./configure --prefix=/usr/users/iff_th2/liao/fftw-3.3
--enable-threads --enable-shared --enable-mpi CC=gcc
 1078  make
 1079  make install
 1080  history | grep export
 1081  export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/users/iff_th2/liao/fftw-3.3/include
 1082  export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/users/iff_th2/liao/fftw-3.3/lib
 1083  cd ../gromacs454/
 1084  history | grep configure
 1085  ./configure --prefix=/usr/users/iff_th2/liao/gromacs454/
--enable-double --enable-threads CC=gcc --disable-gcc41-check --enable-mpi
--program-suffix=_d --enable-shared
 1086  make
 1087  make install

The only difference is that I delete the option of --enable-long-double for
compiling fftw and add the option of --enable-shared for compiling gromacs.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

All the best.
Qinghua Liao
