[gmx-users] Problems installing gromacs 5.0.4 with plumed 2.1.2 for MPI

Yes that fixed it. I now have an mpi-aware version that works.

I realise this is perhaps a separate issue now but it would be good to use
the latest compiler version. My default is openmpi-1.5.4 and I could get
openmpi-1.8.5 now. How would I go about setting up wrappers for that?

Many thanks again
James
