[gmx-users] Install Gromacs on VirtualBox

[Simon Dürr]

I have problems installing Gromacs on a VirtualBox machine.

Stats of the System:
Lubuntu 32bit, 14.04 LTS
build-essential and cmake are installed.

I follow the instructions:
> tar xfz gromacs-5.0.6.tar.gz
> cd gromacs-5.0.6
> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=OFF
> make
> make check
> sudo make install
> source /usr/local/gromacs/bin/GMXRC

However make check gives me the following errors and I can't figure out why.
I can install Gromacs after and executing gmx "appname" works with no errors.

Do you have ideas why?
