Hi,<br><br>You can do something like:<br> mpirun -np 4 xterm -e gdb ~/check_gmx/obj/g_x86_64/src/kernel/mdrun<br><br>with the appropriate settings for your system.<br><br>You will have to type run in every xterm to make mdrun run.<br>Or you can make some scripts<br>(gdb -x gdb_cmds will read the gdb commands from the file gdb_cmds).<br><br>When you think it hangs, type ctrl-c in an xterm<br>and type where to see where it hangs.<br>I would guess this would be in an MPI call.<br><br>Berk<br><br><br>> Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 23:53:45 +0100<br>> From: patrick.fuchs@univ-paris-diderot.fr<br>> To: gmx-users@gromacs.org<br>> Subject: Re: Subject: Re: Re: [gmx-users] Gromacs 4 bug?<br>> <br>> Hi Berk,<br>> I used gcc version 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) (GCC).<br>> I recompiled it with CFLAGS=-g and it still hangs...<br>> Now, how can we run it in the debugger ?<br>> Thanks,<br>> <br>> Patrick<br>> <br>> Berk Hess a écrit :<br>> > Hi,<br>> > <br>> > What compiler (and compiler version) are you using?<br>> > <br>> > Could you configure with CFLAGS=-g<br>> > and see if it still hangs?<br>> > If it also hangs in that case, we can run it in the debugger<br>> > and find out where it hangs.<br>> > <br>> > Berk<br>> > <br>> > > Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 16:32:31 +0100<br>> > > From: patrick.fuchs@univ-paris-diderot.fr<br>> > > To: gmx-users@gromacs.org<br>> > > Subject: Re: Subject: Re: Re: [gmx-users] Gromacs 4 bug?<br>> > ><br>> > > Hi,<br>> > > I have exactly the same problem under Fedora 9 on a dual-quadricore<br>> > > (Intel Xeon E5430, 2.66 GHz) computer.
