GROMACS version: 2023 GROMACS modification: Yes/No Here post your question I try to install the latest version of gromacs “gromacs 2023” on my mac pro having M1. I used the following command to perform cmake. cmake -D CMAKE\_C\_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/mpicc -D CMAKE\_CXX\_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/mpicxx -D CMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX=/usr/local/gromacs\_new -D GMX\_FFT\_LIBRARY=fftw3 -D GMX\_MPI=ON -D GMX\_BUILD\_OWN\_FFTW=ON -D REGRESSIONTEST\_DOWNLOAD=ON -D GMX\_GPU=OpenCL …/ everything was fine and I could make it without any errors. However, when I perform a make check I get the following error. command: GMX\_DISABLE\_GPU\_DETECTION=1 make check [1%] Built target options [1%] Built target linearalgebra [1%] Built target muparser [1%] Built target pulling [1%] Built target taskassignment [2%] Built target tng\_io\_obj [3%] Built target tng\_io\_zlib [6%] Built target modularsimulator [6%] Built target scanner [6%] Generating release version information [6%] Built target release-version-info [6%] Built target fftwBuild [6%] Built target thread\_mpi [6%] Built target lmfit\_objlib [58%] Built target libgromacs [59%] Built target gtest [59%] Built target gmock Consolidate compiler generated dependencies of target testutils [59%] Building CXX object src/testutils/CMakeFiles/testutils.dir/**/external/tinyxml2/tinyxml2.cpp.o /var/tmp//ccRTSA87.s:20726:29: error: unexpected token in ‘.section’ directive .section .data.rel.ro.local ^ make[3]: \*\*\* [src/testutils/CMakeFiles/testutils.dir/**/external/tinyxml2/tinyxml2.cpp.o] Error 1 make[2]: \*\*\* [src/testutils/CMakeFiles/testutils.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/check.dir/rule] Error 2 make: \*\*\* [check] Error 2 It is the case with or without GMX\_DISABLE\_GPU\_DETECTION=1 I also tried to run the make test and after the lengthy test process, the summary is as follows. 6% tests passed, 84 tests failed out of 89 Label Time Summary: GTest = 0.89 sec_proc (83 tests) IntegrationTest = 0.47 sec_proc (27 tests) MpiTest = 0.89 sec_proc (21 tests) QuickGpuTest = 0.29 sec_proc (17 tests) SlowGpuTest = 161.01 sec_proc (18 tests) SlowTest = 0.25 sec_proc (13 tests) UnitTest = 0.16 sec\*proc (43 tests) Total Test time (real) = 161.72 sec The following tests FAILED: 1 - GmxapiExternalInterfaceTests (Not Run) 2 - GmxapiMpiTests (Failed) 3 - GmxapiInternalInterfaceTests (Not Run) 4 - GmxapiInternalsMpiTests (Failed) 5 - NbLibListedForcesTests (Not Run) 8 - NbLibUtilTests (Not Run) 9 - NbLibSetupTests (Not Run) 10 - NbLibTprTests (Not Run) 11 - NbLibIntegrationTests (Not Run) 12 - NbLibIntegratorTests (Not Run) 13 - TestUtilsUnitTests (Not Run) 14 - TestUtilsMpiUnitTests (Failed) 15 - UtilityUnitTests (Not Run) 16 - UtilityMpiUnitTests (Failed) 17 - GmxlibTests (Not Run) 18 - MdlibUnitTest (Not Run) 19 - AwhTest (Not Run) 20 - DensityFittingAppliedForcesUnitTest (Not Run) 21 - QMMMAppliedForcesUnitTest (Not Run) 22 - AppliedForcesUnitTest (Not Run) 23 - ListedForcesTest (Not Run) 24 - NbnxmTests (Not Run) 25 - CommandLineUnitTests (Not Run) 26 - DomDecTests (Not Run) 27 - DomDecMpiTests (Failed) 28 - EwaldUnitTests (Not Run) 29 - FFTUnitTests (Not Run) 30 - GpuUtilsUnitTests (Not Run) 31 - HardwareUnitTests (Not Run) 32 - MathUnitTests (Not Run) 33 - MdrunUtilityUnitTests (Not Run) 34 - MdrunUtilityMpiUnitTests (Failed) 35 - MDSpanTests (Not Run) 36 - MdtypesUnitTest (Not Run) 37 - OnlineHelpUnitTests (Not Run) 38 - OptionsUnitTests (Not Run) 39 - PbcutilUnitTest (Not Run) 40 - RandomUnitTests (Not Run) 41 - RestraintTests (Not Run) 42 - TableUnitTests (Not Run) 43 - TaskAssignmentUnitTests (Not Run) 44 - GmxTimingTests (Not Run) 45 - TopologyTest (Not Run) 46 - PullTest (Not Run) 47 - SimdUnitTests (Not Run) 48 - CompatibilityHelpersTests (Not Run) 49 - GmxAnaTest (Not Run) 50 - GmxPreprocessTests (Not Run) 51 - Pdb2gmx1Test (Not Run) 52 - Pdb2gmx2Test (Not Run) 53 - Pdb2gmx3Test (Not Run) 54 - CorrelationsTest (Not Run) 55 - AnalysisDataUnitTests (Not Run) 56 - CoordinateIOTests (Not Run) 57 - TrajectoryAnalysisUnitTests (Not Run) 58 - EnergyAnalysisUnitTests (Not Run) 59 - ToolUnitTests (Not Run) 60 - FileIOTests (Not Run) 61 - SelectionUnitTests (Not Run) 62 - MdrunOutputTests (Not Run) 63 - MdrunModulesTests (Not Run) 64 - MdrunIOTests (Not Run) 65 - MdrunTestsOneRank (Failed) 66 - MdrunTestsTwoRanks (Failed) 67 - MdrunSingleRankAlgorithmsTests (Not Run) 68 - MdrunNonIntegratorTests (Not Run) 69 - MdrunTpiTests (Not Run) 70 - MdrunMpiTests (Failed) 71 - MdrunMultiSimTests (Failed) 72 - MdrunMultiSimReplexTests (Failed) 73 - MdrunMultiSimReplexEquivalenceTests (Failed) 74 - MdrunMpi1RankPmeTests (Failed) 75 - MdrunMpi2RankPmeTests (Failed) 76 - MdrunCoordinationBasicTests1Rank (Failed) 77 - MdrunCoordinationBasicTests2Ranks (Failed) 78 - MdrunCoordinationCouplingTests1Rank (Failed) 79 - MdrunCoordinationCouplingTests2Ranks (Failed) 80 - MdrunCoordinationConstraintsTests1Rank (Failed) 81 - MdrunCoordinationConstraintsTests2Ranks (Failed) 82 - MdrunFEPTests (Not Run) 83 - MdrunPullTests (Not Run) 84 - MdrunSimulatorComparison (Not Run) 85 - MdrunVirtualSiteTests (Failed) 86 - regressiontests/complex (Failed) Errors while running CTest Output from these tests are in: /usr/local/gromacs-2023/build/Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log Use “–rerun-failed --output-on-failure” to re-run the failed cases verbosely. make: \*\*\* [test] Error 8 ---

I get the same issue with gcc 12.2.0 on my M2 MacBook Air. There is a compiler error when building the test utilities. The gmx binary seems to work fine though. ---

In my case, I only get the following binaries in my gromacs bin. I have 2022 version without GPU and OpenCL running on the same machine and there I have all the binaries except for mpi binaries and scripts. GMXRC GMXRC.csh demux.pl gmx-completion.bash xplor2gmx.pl GMXRC.bash GMXRC.zsh gmx-completion-gmx\_mpi.bash gmx\_mpi
