Hey again!
The install of gromacs 3.3.3 on HP-UX is mostly working fine, but I'm getting some weird behaviour from grompp where it doesn't set the output filename correctly. Here is the grompp output from when I run the demo program, for example (the demo works fine until it gets to this step, after pdb2gmx and genbox): --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- checking input for internal consistency...
sh: /grace/bin/: Cannot create the specified file.

grompp uses a temporary file and for the the environment variable $TMPDIR is read. Is that pointing to /grace/bin ?


Thanks a lot for the suggestion. This variable is not set. I tried to set it to the current directory (export TMPDIR=./), but it didn't make a difference. Where is this set? I grep'd for TMPDIR in the src/ kernel directory and couldn't find any reference to it... are you sure this is right? Maybe there's another variable getting set somewhere... is there a list somewhere of environment variables used by gromacs?

I tried other preprocessors other than the default cpp (m4, and a cpp.ansi I found in /usr/lib) but get the same error... so it does seem to be grompp, not the cpp...

Cheers,
Chris.

I think it's getting the /grace/bin thing from my PATH variable of all things! Why it sticks it in there as the output filename is beyond me. I've looked at grompp.c and topio.c to see if I can find the problem, but my C coding skills are not great and I'm not sure what to do with all those pointers... can anyone suggest an easy fix for this? I tried an ugly hack to set outfile = "cppoutput" in topio.c, but that didn't work...
Thanks for any suggestions (other than getting rid of HP-UX...),
Chris.
