[gmx-users] installation errors

[mah maz]

Thanks Mark! I could install it at last. I installed it in a desired
directory not in root, used --enable-shared and --disable-float. that was
the only way it was installed! and I should say I tried from all versions 5
to 4 and finally the one without errors was 4.5.5! (with fftw-3.3.4)
I have 2 questions now: is it ok not to have gromacs installed in root?
when I want to run is it necessary to have the file in the directory
installed? and
does double precision work the same as single?(I can see _d after commands)
thanks alot
