Re: [AMBER] Workaround for gfortran-4.1.2?

Hello Mark,
 
I am strugling with the same bug. Could you be more specific about solution for RHEL5? I can install gcc version 4.4.0 using yum packager alongside standard 4.1.2 version. However, new version have executables gcc44, g++44 and gfortran44. How do I modify Amber 11 configure or config.h files to properly use new gcc version? How do I point to correct libraries for gcc version 4.4?
 
Thank you,

Hi Marc,

I've hit this frustrating issue in the past with RHEL4 (which
essentially is what CentOS4 cloned). There is a RPM based solution
within RHEL5 and CentOS5, but I also had upgrade constraints here.

My solution for RHEL4 was to compile the 4.4 gcc compiler from scratch
and then use it to build AMBER. I've written a howto on this and you can
find it at:

It works rather well for me.
