dear mahmoud,
i beg to disagree. your _real_ problems lie in not paying
attention, in not using some common sense, and in not being
able to ask questions that people would be able to answer
in a useful way.
just answer the following questions for yourself:
how should anybody know that you were using NAMD
and not gromacs, if you state you installed gromacs?
if NAMD would not run in parallel as you claim, then
there would be a _lot_ of people complaining about it, right?
so as a consequence, the problem much be something that you
do or don't do. but how should anybody be able to
tell you what you are doing wrong, if you are not giving
any details of what you do? telepathy?
have you considered, that software packages like NAMD offer
a _lot_ of documentation and tutorials and that quite often
the answer that you are seeking, is already there?
thus please show some respect to the people who put in the
effort to write this all down (it is a _lot_ of work) and
look around. files like, e.g., README have their name for
a special purpose after all: you are supposed to read them.
cheers,
axel.
