GROMACS version: 2023.1 GROMACS modification: No On a Rocky Linux machine. Hello everyone. These are the instructions that are given to install Gromacs: tar xfz gromacs-2023.1.tar.gz cd gromacs-2023.1 mkdir build cd build cmake … -DGMX\_BUILD\_OWN\_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST\_DOWNLOAD=ON make make check sudo make install source /usr/local/gromacs/bin/GMXRC I have made it all the way to the ‘make check’ without errors. But when ‘make check’ is done running, it says that 87 out of 87 tests have failed. Any ideas on how to proceed? Here is a snippet of what my output looks like: 0% tests passed, 87 tests failed out of 87 Label Time Summary: GTest = 0.03 sec_proc (81 tests) IntegrationTest = 0.01 sec_proc (25 tests) MpiTest = 0.01 sec_proc (19 tests) QuickGpuTest = 0.01 sec_proc (17 tests) SlowGpuTest = 0.11 sec_proc (18 tests) SlowTest = 0.01 sec_proc (13 tests) UnitTest = 0.02 sec\*proc (43 tests) Total Test time (real) = 0.15 sec The following tests FAILED: 1 - GmxapiExternalInterfaceTests (Failed) 2 - GmxapiInternalInterfaceTests (Failed) 3 - NbLibListedForcesTests (Failed) 4 - NbLibSamplesTestArgon (Failed) 5 - NbLibSamplesTestMethaneWater (Failed) 6 - NbLibUtilTests (Failed) 7 - NbLibSetupTests (Failed) 8 - NbLibTprTests (Failed) 9 - NbLibIntegrationTests (Failed) 10 - NbLibIntegratorTests (Failed) 11 - TestUtilsUnitTests (Failed) 12 - TestUtilsMpiUnitTests (Failed) 13 - UtilityUnitTests (Failed) 14 - UtilityMpiUnitTests (Failed) 15 - GmxlibTests (Failed) 16 - MdlibUnitTest (Failed) 17 - AwhTest (Failed) 18 - DensityFittingAppliedForcesUnitTest (Failed) 19 - QMMMAppliedForcesUnitTest (Failed) 20 - AppliedForcesUnitTest (Failed) 21 - ListedForcesTest (Failed) 22 - NbnxmTests (Failed) 23 - CommandLineUnitTests (Failed) 24 - DomDecTests (Failed) 25 - DomDecMpiTests (Failed) 26 - EwaldUnitTests (Failed) 27 - FFTUnitTests (Failed) 28 - GpuUtilsUnitTests (Failed) 29 - HardwareUnitTests (Failed) 30 - MathUnitTests (Failed) 31 - MdrunUtilityUnitTests (Failed) 32 - MdrunUtilityMpiUnitTests (Failed) 33 - MDSpanTests (Failed) 34 - MdtypesUnitTest (Failed) 35 - OnlineHelpUnitTests (Failed) 36 - OptionsUnitTests (Failed) 37 - PbcutilUnitTest (Failed) 38 - RandomUnitTests (Failed) 39 - RestraintTests (Failed) 40 - TableUnitTests (Failed) 41 - TaskAssignmentUnitTests (Failed) 42 - GmxTimingTests (Failed) 43 - TopologyTest (Failed) 44 - PullTest (Failed) 45 - SimdUnitTests (Failed) 46 - CompatibilityHelpersTests (Failed) 47 - GmxAnaTest (Failed) 48 - GmxPreprocessTests (Failed) 49 - Pdb2gmx1Test (Failed) 50 - Pdb2gmx2Test (Failed) 51 - Pdb2gmx3Test (Failed) 52 - CorrelationsTest (Failed) 53 - AnalysisDataUnitTests (Failed) 54 - CoordinateIOTests (Failed) 55 - TrajectoryAnalysisUnitTests (Failed) 56 - EnergyAnalysisUnitTests (Failed) 57 - ToolUnitTests (Failed) 58 - FileIOTests (Failed) 59 - SelectionUnitTests (Failed) 60 - MdrunOutputTests (Failed) 61 - MdrunModulesTests (Failed) 62 - MdrunIOTests (Failed) 63 - MdrunTestsOneRank (Failed) 64 - MdrunTestsTwoRanks (Failed) 65 - MdrunSingleRankAlgorithmsTests (Failed) 66 - MdrunNonIntegratorTests (Failed) 67 - MdrunTpiTests (Failed) 68 - MdrunMpiTests (Failed) 69 - MdrunMultiSimTests (Failed) 70 - MdrunMultiSimReplexTests (Failed) 71 - MdrunMultiSimReplexEquivalenceTests (Failed) 72 - MdrunMpi1RankPmeTests (Failed) 73 - MdrunMpi2RankPmeTests (Failed) 74 - MdrunCoordinationBasicTests1Rank (Failed) 75 - MdrunCoordinationBasicTests2Ranks (Failed) 76 - MdrunCoordinationCouplingTests1Rank (Failed) 77 - MdrunCoordinationCouplingTests2Ranks (Failed) 78 - MdrunCoordinationConstraintsTests1Rank (Failed) 79 - MdrunCoordinationConstraintsTests2Ranks (Failed) 80 - MdrunFEPTests (Failed) 81 - MdrunPullTests (Failed) 82 - MdrunSimulatorComparison (Failed) 83 - MdrunVirtualSiteTests (Failed) 84 - regressiontests/complex (Failed) 85 - regressiontests/freeenergy (Failed) 86 - regressiontests/rotation (Failed) 87 - 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/Makefile2:3484: CMakeFiles/run-ctest-nophys.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2706: CMakeFiles/check.dir/rule] Error 2 make: \*\*\* [Makefile:342: check] Error 2 ---

Hi! There should have been some kind of error output before what you posted. Please share the full log. You can also run any individual test (e.g., `./bin/random-test`), and check the output. ---

Looks like you have a partially broken compiler/stdlibrary combination on your system. I don’t have Rocky Linux readily available for testing, but Googling “version GLIBCXX\_3.4.26’ not found” produces quite a lot of results, including the ones for Rocky Linux. I suggest trying to install the missing packages. After that, it might be helpful to completely remove GROMACS’s `build` directory and start from scratch, to avoid any leftover cached configuration values. ---
