Dear Candy,

I am going to help you for PLUMED installation. Please let me know how are you going to install: one node multiple processors / multiple nodes multiple processors

Have a nice weekend,
Thanks,
Maiti

this sounds like a general unix problem. you need to ensure that directory is included when the compiler is looking for header files. I'm not sure exactly how this is done, maybe by setting a $INCLUDE_DIR variable in your shell, or probably there is something you can add to the compile line, for instance ./build [your stuff here] -I [directory where that file is].

Anyway, I think it's a simple enough problem, just needs some googling or someone with more unix experience than me.

Dear NAMD user.
I'm trying to install NAMD 2.8 and patching PLUMED1.3
Here is what I've done :

tar xzf NAMD_2.8_Source.tar.gz
  cd NAMD_2.8_Source
  tar xf charm-6.3.2.tar
  cd charm-6.3.2

Build and test the Charm++/Converse library (network version):
  ./build charm++ net-linux-x86_64 --no-build-shared --with-production
  cd net-linux-x86_64/tests/charm++/megatest
  make pgm
  ./charmrun ++local +p4 ./pgm (also try running on multiple nodes)
  cd ../../../../..

Download and install TCL and FFTW libraries:
  wget http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/libraries/fftw-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  tar xzf fftw-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  mv linux-x86_64 fftw
  wget http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/libraries/old_2010/tcl-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  tar xzf tcl-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  mv linux-x86_64 tcl

Set up build directory and compile:
  network version: ./config Linux-x86_64-g++ --charm-arch net-linux-x86_64

apply the patch: ./plumedpatch_namd_2.8.sh<http://plumedpatch_namd_2.8.sh> -patch

  cd Linux-x86_64-g++
  make

And here, things like :
src/ComputeMgr.C:83:21: fatal error: metadyn.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated
are showing up...

However, metadyn.h exists...
if I do ls -l , I obtain :

lrwxrwxrwx 1 candy candy 36 2012-08-30 13:55 metadyn.h -> ../plumed-1.3/common_files/metadyn.h

Can someone help ??
Thanks a lot
Candy
