GROMACS: Fast, Free and Flexible MD
 
 
 
The configuration script complains about FFTW - how do I install it?
Friday, 09 September 2005
FFTW uses the same type of automatic configuration scripts as GROMACS, so it's easy to configure and compile. The default setup places libraries under /usr/local, but you can change it with --prefix. One important difference is that GROMACS normally is compiled in single precision, while FFTW defaults to double precision. Configure and install FFTW with the command:

  ./configure --enable-float
make
make install
 

If you want to compile GROMACS with parallel MPI support you should also add --enable-mpi to the FFTW configuration. Once the installation is ready we recommend that you also install a double-precision version of FFTW (nice to have) with:

  make distclean
./configure
make
make install
 

That's it. Consult www.fftw.org if you have any problems.
