minab.c is a temporary file -- it is not useful to you. To compile nab
programs, you need to use "nab" as the compiler. In this somewhat simple
case, you would use the command:
nab minab.nab
This will create a temporary (not useful) minab.c file as well as a program
named a.out. You can run this a.out program:
./a.out

it parallelizes some features of NAB. The MPI nab compiler is "mpinab"
instead of "nab" (much like mpicc and mpif90 instead of the C compiler and
Fortran 90 compiler). Just use "mpinab" instead of "nab":
mpinab minab.nab
You can then use "mpirun" to run multiple threads of this new program:
mpirun -np 8 ./a.out
A (better) alternative to parallelizing NAB programs is to use OpenMP. You
would need to configure with the -openmp flag. Note that OpenMP and MPI
are considered advanced options, especially for NAB, so you will need to
experiment a bit to work out the best way to run in parallel on your
system. A couple comments: not every part of NAB is parallelized (like the
normal mode part, to my knowledge). Unless you plan on doing
time-intensive tasks (like implicit solvent dynamics or long
minimizations), it is probably better to just use serial nab.
Good luck,
Jason
