Gromacs 2020.2 Installation error while doing make check: SimdUnitTests (NUMERICAL) failure

GROMACS version:2020.2
GROMACS modification: No

OS:Centos7
cmake --version
cmake3 version 3.17.3
gcc (GCC) 9.1.0

I am trying to install Gromacs from source code. Since the installation with CUDA was running into troubles I tried installing without GPU support. However, I get the following error while doing “make check”


98% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 50

Label Time Summary:
GTest = 103.01 secproc (50 tests)
IntegrationTest = 81.21 sec
proc (9 tests)
MpiTest = 17.42 secproc (6 tests)
UnitTest = 21.80 sec
proc (41 tests)

Total Test time (real) = 103.07 sec

The following tests FAILED:
28 - SimdUnitTests (NUMERICAL)

Should I go ahead and install or it will lead to problems

The configuration was done by …

%cd /home/xrd3/Downloads/gromacs-2020.2/build

% cmake REGRESSIONTEST_PATH=/home/xrd3/Downloads/regressiontests-2020 -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/gcc \ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/g++ -DGMX_GPU=off -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \ -DGMX_FFT_LIBRARY=FFTW3 -DGMX_USE_LMFIT=internal \ -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 … |& tee gromacs-cmake.log

followed by …

% make -j 12 |& tee gromacs-make.log
% make check |& tee gromacs-make-check.log

Any help would be appreciated
