<div dir="ltr">hi everyone, <br><br>i am trying to install the latest CVS version of
gromacs to take advantage of the better scaling to make use of
supercomputer time for a pretty large simulation ( > 200,000 atoms
). this is what i get when i do "uname -a" where i am compiling:<br>Linux
<a href="http://login4.ranger.tacc.utexas.edu">login4.ranger.tacc.utexas.edu</a> 2.6.9-67.0.7.EL_lustre.1.6.5.1smp #1 SMP
Wed Jun 18 19:11:05 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux<br><br>i
first tried installation with the automake and autoconf they had -
versions 1.9 and 2.59, respectively. i then tried installation with
autoconf 2.61 and m4 1.4.11 ... both times i got errors ( at the bottom
of this message ) when trying to run ./bootstrap .<br><br>i looked
around the web and couldn't find anything that helped me, and nothing
for Gromacs about this. i found the following two mails that may be
relevant, but i don't know how to translate what they are saying about
their own autoconf problems to what i need to do to get the gromacs cvs
installation working. <br><br><a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/libtool@gnu.org/msg08627.html" target="_blank">http://www.mail-archive.com/libtool@gnu.org/msg08627.html</a><br><a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.bugs/6337" target="_blank">http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.bugs/6337</a><br>
