RE: AMBER: MKL libraries/Amber10

If I understand the Amber10 manual, I should first compile AmberTools. In doing that in /usr/local/amber10 (set to me with chwon and chgrp) I have first (in my .bashrc) set the MKL_HOME env var and sourced as indicated below.

Then, after consulting the help, as user:

./configure_at icc

whereby all tests (icc g77 flex NETCDF) were OK

make -f Makefile_at

ended at Completed installation of AmberTools, vers 1.

Before performing tests, may I ask why during the compilation both g++ and g77 were used. In particular about g77, should I have indicated ifort as compiler (as I'll do for Amber10 and openmpi)? I was unable to see an option for ifort in place of g77 for the above compilation.

When all that is in order, I understand to unpack Amber10.tar.bz2 into /usr/local/amber10
and proceed to compile.

Incidentally (which I forgot to mention in my original post), are MKL libraries of help even for a NUMA-type machine with dual-opterons?

Thanks
francesco
