[gmx-users] Question regarding installing fftw

[Michael Homa]

Hi:

I apologize if this is an incredibly stupid question. I am
installing Gromacs on our academic computing cluster. According to the
"Prerequisites" page on the web:

    YOU NEED FFTW VERSION 2.1.5

It's very specific about which version, 2.1.5. But, then in the next few
paragraphs, there are four links to rpm files not for version
2.1.5 but for version 2.1.3.2:

  fftw-2.1.3-2.i386.rpm
  fftw-devel-2.1.3-2.i386.rpm
  fftw lammpi-2.1.3-2.i386.rpm
  fftw-lammpi-devel-2.1.3-2.i386.rpm

Can I use the the 2.1.3-2 version instead of the 2.1.5? Thanks.
