GROMACS version: 2025.2
Hi, I’ve been trying to install gromacs for the first time in linux, I have a manjaro/KDE distro/setup. I’m following the ‘Quick and Dirty’ installation guide (Installation guide - GROMACS 2025.2 documentation) but i get stuck on the ‘make’ step.
I get a bunch of error logs that begin with

All the error logs say they happen in glog/logging.h or glog/flags.h and i kinda understand that this is a library-related error, but i do not know how to unbug this.
I’ve tried changing some of the options in the ‘cmake’ step, as i’ve seen commented in other installation error posts in this forum but none seem to help me so far. Any advice would help me. Thanks.
