Can you be more specific? The xHost flag should only be in the single
config.h created by the configure script (which actually calls
AmberTools/src/configure2 to do the real work.) Note that a couple of
other "config.h" scripts are just links to the master one, so that editing
the config.h in $AMBERHOME changes all of them.
Bottom line: you *should* be able to just hand-edit $AMBERHOME/config.h to
remove the xHost invocations after the ./configure step but before the
"make install" step. It's certainly worth a try.
You mention that xHost shows up in Makefiles as well, but I don't readily see
that, but I haven't examined every one. Try the suggestion above, and let us
know details of what (if anything) goes wrong.
