Dear Justin,

(1) sorry, my ignorance; threads was enabled when installing FFTW instead of Gromacs, I should have said "configured with --enable-float and --enable-mpi" (and actually this is what I did).

(2) I think I used OpenMPI.

(3) Thank you. Is there anyway to fix the grompp?

Hi, all,

I'm trying to install a parallel version of gromacs-4.0.7 under my own account (on our campus supercomputing center, configured with --enable-threads, --enable-float, --enable-mpi, and prefixed with specified directory), because I need to develop some new extensions for our research and will have to do code modification and debugging from time to time.


There is no point to using --enable-threads in version 4.0.7 - there's no thread support yet.

Now the installation went through (I felt there was no severe error information shown). But when I started running it parallely, the mdrun program seemed to crash at the first MPI command it encountered (the MPI_Bcast in line 372 of gmxlib/network.c). It is not yet addressed what has gone wrong in the installation and I was trying to run the test set to get some information. I wonder if I had put the gmxtest directory at proper place, since after I sourced GMXRC and ran gmxtest.pl, for all the cases I was told "No topol.tpr file in kernel ...".


What is your MPI implementation?  OpenMPI, MPICH, etc?

It would be quite appreciated if someone could guess what might have been wrong with the installation; also is it worth running the test set for locating the problem? and what does the error information "No topol.tpr file in kernel ..." imply?


The test set is not terribly useful, and certainly won't diagnose this issue for you. If you've failed to generate the necessary .tpr file, then errors occurred in grompp that prevented the .tpr file from being generated.

Thank you!
