<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've had the same problems as some other users when
compiling GROMACS on an IBM system. I get an "unknown preprocessing
directive #ident" error, even after I use the --disable-largefile option. It
seems the solution is (from previous list messages):</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><EM>>Yeah, this is a bug in the GNU
autoconfig tools - it detects that some <BR>>IBM preprocessor versions
support IDENT even if they don't... It's only <BR>>used for debugging
identification, and we will probably remove it in a <BR>>future version, so
it's safe to remove that
define.<BR>><BR>><BR>>Cheers,<BR>><BR>>Erik</EM><BR></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would a list member let me know what config files
exactly should I open to comment out the #define for HAS_IDENT ? Many
thanks.</FONT> </P>
