I have been struggling to compile GROMACS version:2021.2 and even beta 3 and the error is the same. 4 out of 73 test failed during make check.

Hi, it looks a bug to me, please file the issue in gitlab and link it to the issue [intermittent failure of essentialdynamics test - Redmine #3016 (#3016) · Issues · GROMACS / GROMACS · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/issues/3016), since they may be connected. If you are not using essential dynamics, you can go on using the installation without problem. Best regards Alessandra ---

umm I got same issue. I use OPENmpi and tried cmake … -DGMX\_BUILD\_OWN\_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST\_DOWNLOAD=ON -DGMX\_GPU=CUDA -DGMX\_MPI=ON 95% tests passed, 4 tests failed out of 73 Label Time Summary: GTest = 163.52 sec_proc (67 tests) IntegrationTest = 56.59 sec_proc (20 tests) MpiTest = 102.82 sec_proc (10 tests) SlowTest = 100.27 sec_proc (8 tests) UnitTest = 6.66 sec\*proc (39 tests) Total Test time (real) = 195.19 sec The following tests FAILED: 70 - regressiontests/complex (Failed) 71 - regressiontests/freeenergy (Failed) 72 - regressiontests/rotation (Failed) 73 - regressiontests/essentialdynamics (Failed) Errors while running CTest make[3]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/run-ctest-nophys.dir/build.make:58: CMakeFiles/run-ctest-nophys] error 8 make[2]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2733: CMakeFiles/run-ctest-nophys.dir/all] error 2 make[1]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2712: CMakeFiles/check.dir/rule] error 2 make: \*\*\* [Makefile:249: check] error 2 I tried this with GROMACS version:2021.2 & 2021 but it showed same. ---

I am also getting same error in both gromacs-2020.6 and gromacs-2021.4 during the make check step. error output of make check:: ```auto 93% tests passed, 4 tests failed out of 59 Label Time Summary: GTest = 38.22 sec*proc (55 tests) IntegrationTest = 12.68 sec*proc (12 tests) MpiTest = 25.20 sec*proc (8 tests) SlowTest = 20.92 sec*proc (2 tests) UnitTest = 4.63 sec*proc (41 tests) Total Test time (real) = 38.33 sec The following tests FAILED: 56 - regressiontests/complex (Failed) 57 - regressiontests/freeenergy (Failed) 58 - regressiontests/rotation (Failed) 59 - regressiontests/essentialdynamics (Failed) Errors while running CTest make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/run-ctest-nophys.dir/build.make:71: CMakeFiles/run-ctest-nophys] Error 8 make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2892: CMakeFiles/run-ctest-nophys.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2925: CMakeFiles/check.dir/rule] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:641: check] Error 2 ``` this output is during installation of gromacs-2020.6 version, and in gromacs-2021.4 also I am getting same this 4 regression test fail error.
