Re: [AMBER] pmemd test failure when compiling with intel 12.1.2

The error message you're getting is this:

Fatal Error: This program was not built to run on the processor in your
system.
The allowed processors are: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 and compatible Intel
processors with Intel(R) Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel(R) SSE3)
instruction support.

I'm guessing that pmemd used some optimization flag that the rest of Amber
doesn't, and that optimization flag only works on Intel processors. (See
if there's something obvious about enabling SSE3, and just remove that
optimization flag).

It would probably be safe to just copy the sander/normal optimization flags
into the pmemd variables in your config.h

HTH,
Jason
