Hi,

It looks like the configure that is part of the FFTW build that you
requested from GROMACS does not like your build location. Perhaps that's
because your username has a space in it and configure can't handle that.
Unfortunately GROMACS can't fix that, so I suggest you try to build from
some other location, like /tmp.
