GROMACS version:2018.8

Here post your question

Dear all,

I met an error when I try to install gromacs 2018.8. The cmake step I used is here:  
cmake … -DGMX\_BUILD\_OWN\_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST\_DOWNLOAD=OFF -DREGRESSIONTEST\_PATH=…/…/regressiontests-2018.8 -DGMX\_GPU=ON -DCUDA\_TOOLKIT\_ROOT\_DIR=/usr/local/cuda-11.7 -DGMX\_CUDA\_TARGET\_SM=75 -DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX=/usr/local/gromacs-18

And the error return is here:
