I used gnu compiler to configure amber12.

I don't know how to compile FFTW3 on POWER7 machine. Is it not the way we
do in other machine? I am too new for this architecture.

Without FFTW, I could install serial version of amber (sander). Again,I am
getting trouble for parallel installation (sander.MPI).

I am not having AmberTools 14. If so I have to get it.

Thank you Jason.
