AMBER: Installation problem. .

Dear Andreas,

This was a great advice. I finally installed AMBER 8 in my machine
(64bit Xeon Cpus with FC3) following your instruction. However, my "make
test" was not successful. So please let me ask you one more question.

One more thing: On my machine, All "Run.(...)" scripts must start with
#!/bin/csh -f (mind the '-f'), otherwise sander and colleagues don't
find the needed shared libs. This might not be a problem on other
machines (?).

As you mentioned above, I ended up with following message.

************************************************************************
**********************
[root.bioinfo test]# make test
cd dmp; ./Run.dmp
.../../exe/sander: error while loading shared libraries: libvml.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  ./Run.dmp: Program error
make: *** [test.sander.no_lmod] Error 1
************************************************************************
**********************

My "Run.(...)" files already had "#!bin/csh -f "......... Does anybody
know how to fix this problem?

Thank you.

Sukjoon

Hi,

...No problem at all (more or less).
The best way for the intel compiler and opterons:
do a:
/configure -p4 ifort

then edit config.h:
Optimization recommended for athlon 64 CPUs are '-O3 -ip -xW' '-xW'
turns on specific optimizations for Intel pentium4s and compatible
processors (e.g. Athlon 64).
Then (if present) set the path to the correct MKL library
(e.g. /opt/intel/mkl721/lib/em64t on my machine).

Now, everything should work like a charm (not charmm :-).
When compiling xleap, I found one issue: In one Makefile, /usr/X11R6/lib
should be changed to /usr/X11R6/lib64, otherwise
compilation fails.

There's one caveat: If you want 64 bit, choose the right compiler. Many
people might have 32 and 64 bit compilers installed (me, too). Just make
sure to source the right ${BLA}/bin/ifortvars.csh. Per default, 64 bit
compilers are under /opt/intel_fce_80 (fortran) and opt/intel_cce_80.

One more thing: On my machine, All "Run.(...)" scripts must start with
#!/bin/csh -f (mind the '-f'), otherwise sander and colleagues don't
find the needed shared libs. This might not be a problem on other
machines (?).

I've attached 'my' config.h, which leads to a flawless 'make test'.

...The C/C++ compiler is already available (and works - giving a
noticeable performance gain in the benchmarks I did, again on an athlon
64). Curiously, the install script doesn't allow installation, but a
manual install works just fine. I wonder whether that happened on
purpose (assuming it might take users till August to
find out how to do the installation manually) or someone simply messed
things up.

...No need to, obviously. I'd just recommend *not* to install FC4 right
now. FC3 with all updates and bug fixes might be the better choice until
FC4 has matured a little bit - but that's solely my personal
opinion.

Good luck,
Andreas
