Hi everyone.<br><br>I followed the steps in <a href="http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Installation_Instructions#Prerequisites" target="_blank">http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Installation_Instructions#Prerequisites</a> for my problem, but I obtained problems at the moment to perform &quot;make&quot;.<br>
<br>So, as mention the web page of gromacs... <br><br><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">If you get errors during GROMACS compilation (the &quot;make&quot; step) that 
suggest that you &quot;recompile with -fPIC,&quot; then you should return to this 
FFTW stage and configure with </span><code style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">--enable-shared</code><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> or </span><code style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">--with-pic</code><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">.</span><br>

<br>By the way, previously I performed &quot;make&quot; with FFTW version 3.2.2 (default version in rocks cluster 5.4)<br><br>I did:<br><br>root@bioinfocluster fftw-3.2.2]# ./configure --enable-threads --prefix=/share/apps/opt/fftw<div>
<br>Without errors, and then:<br></div><div><br></div><div>[root@bioinfocluster fftw-3.2.2]# make</div><div><br></div><div>make[3]: Leaving directory `/share/apps/src/fftw-3.2.2/tools&#39;</div>

<div>make[2]: Leaving directory `/share/apps/src/fftw-3.2.2/tools&#39;</div><div>Making all in m4</div><div>make[2]: Entering directory `/share/apps/src/fftw-3.2.2/m4&#39;</div><div>make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all&#39;.</div>

&gt; Dear community.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Justin was right.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I did not want to make the explanation so long, but you&#39;re right I have<br>
&gt; to put those details. As you will see I had to redirect the &quot;outputs&quot;<br>
&gt; after perform &quot;*./configure*&quot; and &quot;*make*&quot; (these files are attach to<br>
&gt; this mail).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I sincerely hope you can give their opinions and help.<br>
