[gmx-users] make install creating infinite recursive directories: addendum

[Harry Mark Greenblatt]

BS"D

I just tried to build gromacs on a workstation with Centos 6.5, under /opt  and got the same problem.  So it's not a ROCKS issue.

I *did* succeed on a Centos 6.5 workstation where I *didn't* specify the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and "make install" put things in /usr/local.

Thanks

Harry


Hi All,

 I am trying to build 4.6.5 for testing, on a Rocks 5.3 cluster (yes it needs upgrading!).  I am using one of the compute nodes to do the compiling, using the following:

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/share/apps/fftw-3.3.2  /share/apps/cmake-2.8.12.2/bin/cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/share/apps/gromacs-4.6.5/ -DGMX_CPU_ACCELERATION=SSE2

This step is fine, as is the "make" step.

But when I type "make install", it starts to copy the files to the correct place, but under "share" it starts to make many recursive gromacs subdirectories.  Here is an example early on in the process

Installing: /share/apps/gromacs-4.6.5/share/gromacs/./gromacs/top/amber96.ff/rna.r2b

As the install proceeds, the number of gromacs/./gromacs/gromacs/gromacs......   directories keeps growing (as in the recursion level keeps going up).

Any advice?
