[gmx-users] Compiling GROMACS 4.5.6 in Cluster

[Agnivo Gosai]

Dear Users

I am facing a problem while compiling the GROMACS source code in my
university cluster. I am laying down my installation procedure step by step
:-

1. Downloaded fftw 3.3.4
2. exported paths of C-compiler and Fortran-compiler
3. Used the following command line to configure FFTW
*./configure --prefix=/home/agosai/GROMACS/fftw-3.3.4-double
--enable-threads --with-pic=-fPIC*
There were no errors.
Proceeded with make and then make install.

4.  Downloaded and unzipped GROMACS 4.5.6 source code
5. exported c++ compiler paths.
6. Defined path to FFTW compilation as follows :-

*export CPPFLAGS="-I/home/agosai/GROMACS/fftw-3.3.4-double/include"export
LDFLAGS="-L/home/agosai/GROMACS/fftw-3.3.4-double/lib"*
7. Tried compiling GROMACS as follows :-
*./configure --prefix=/home/agosai/GROMACS/gromacs-4.5.6-double
--disable-float --program-suffix=-4.5.6-double --with-fft=fftw3*

There were no errors.
8. Then used "make"
 Following messages came :-









*ld: /home/agosai/GROMACS/fftw-3.3.4-double/lib/libfftw3.a(mapflags.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with

Leaving directory `/home/agosai/GROMACS/gromacs-4.5.6/src'make: ***
[all-recursive] Error 1*

I can not proceed to "make install".

I would be highly obliged if my mistake be pointed out and next course of
action is highlighted.

Thanks & Regards
