Re: [AMBER] a possible typo bug while building pmemd with mpi

Hi Dean,

It is precisely what Jason said. My twedit was stripping whitespaces at the
end of line and making "LDOUT = -o " --> "LDOUT = -o"

It was doing so because I needed to edit config.h because of gcc-4 and Fink
mpicc, which is wrongly calling apple gcc instead of Fink gcc-4, remember a
related tip I gave other day?.

Fink guys are aware now about this issue the coming Fink ompi 1.4.1 package
should solve this problem.

Cheers,
Alan
