Dear users,

I have installed successfully NAMD2.6b1 onto my system, the installation
instructions are attached with this email, and the program was working
without any problem.

I followed the same way for installing NAMD2.6b2, but after submitting a
job I received the following message in the error log file:

bash: line 1: 31904 Segmentation fault /usr/bin/env MPIRUN_MPD=0

Any suggestions for that kind of error will be appreciated.

My system info:

Dell 1855 Linux cluster consisting that is equipped with four Intel Xeon
EM64T processors (3.6GHz) and 8 GB of memory. The nodes are connected
with Infiniband, a high-speed, low-latency copper interconnect.

 fftw-2.1.5 Installation:
-------------------------

./configure --prefix=/ibrix/home/mfm42/opt/fftw --enable-threads --enable-mpi --enable-float --enable-type-prefix --enable-debug --enable-dependency-tracking --enable-static

make

make install

tcl-8.4.13 Installation:
------------------------

./configure --prefix=/ibrix/home/mfm42/opt/tcl --enable-threads --enable-64bit --disable-shared

make

make install

###################################################################################

charm++ Installation:
---------------------

Edit the file charm/src/arch/mpi-linux-amd64/conv-mach.sh:
1)change mpiCC to mpicxx
2)use /ibrix/topspin/mpi/mpich/bin as the path to mpicc and mpicxx.

./build charm++ mpi-linux-amd64 --libdir=/ibrix/topspin/mpi/mpich/lib64 --incdir=/ibrix/topspin/mpi/mpich/include --no-build-shared -O -verbose -DCMK_OPTIMIZE=1 -language charm++ -balance rand

namd Installation:
------------------

Edit namd/Make.charm
(set CHARMBASE to the full path to charm-??)

Edit various configuration files:
1) namd/arch/Linux-amd64.fftw (fix path to files, and delete all
                                 -I$(HOME)/fftw/include -L$(HOME)/fftw/lib)
2) namd/arch/Linux-amd64.tcl (fix path to files, and delete all
                                  -I$(HOME)/tcl/include -L$(HOME)/tcl/lib)
                                  add -DUSE_NON_CONST to TCLFLAGS
3) namd/arch/Linux-amd64-MPI.arch use /ibrix/topspin/mpi/mpich/bin as a path to
                                  mpicxx and mpicc instead of g++/gcc,
                                  add "CHARMOPTS = -thread pthreads -memory os"

Set up build directory and compile:
  ./config tcl fftw Linux-amd64-MPI
  cd Linux-amd64-MPI
  make
