Dear Caoch,

I have fixed the problem. Here is what I did, and you
can tell me if there might be potential problems or
not:

I borrowed the erfcfun.f in directory /src/sander/,
removed the first two "#include" lines to remove the
dependency on "dprec.h", and commented out all the
"call derfcfun()" lines in the /src/gibbs/ewald.f
file. Then I added erfcfun.f and erfcfun.o to the
/gibbs/Makefile at corresponding places. The
compilation went smoothly, and now I have an
executable "gibbs".

The only puzzle left is that on line 3397 of file
/gibbs/ewald.f, the "call erfcfun(x, erfc)" function
call returns a new value for "erfc", but it is never
used, unlike the other function calls of "erfcfun()"
in this file. I wonder if this is done for
convenience or not (so as to avoid writing an extra
function?).

Thanks very much for your helpful suggestions!

Best regards,
Angela
