[gmx-users] Unable to install 5.1.14

[Rajat Desikan]

Dear All,
I had removed gromacs 5.1.14. from my system (Ubuntu 16.04) a while ago,
and I'm having trouble reinstalling it. Cmake runs fine, but the system
repeatedly fails in the make step with this weird error:

implicitly declared as deleted because ‘boost::shared_ptr<boost::
exception_detail::error_info_base>’ declares a move constructor or move
assignment operator

There are similar errors after this, and make fails. I have updated boost
on my system (version 58), and my system has the latest upgrades. Can
anyone please point out the way ahead? I've exhausted all easy options (Eg.
cleanly remove all gromacs associated files, redownload, untar and try to
install).

My cmake command is:
cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/gromacs514 -DGMX_USE_RDTSCP=off

I've tried other permutations of the above command (without
-DGMX_USE_RDTSCP=off
for instance) and nothing seems to work.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Rajat
