GROMACS version: 2021
GROMACS modification: No
Dear all,
I am attempting to compile Gromacs 2021 (although I experienced the same problem while trying to build 2020.5). I use the following cmake call:
cmake … -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/software/gromacs-2021-nogpu -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DGMX_GPU=OFF -DGMX_MPI=OFF -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DGMX_HWLOC=ON
What I am actually trying to do is to build a CUDA enabled version (CUDA 11.1) but I found that the problem persists without CUDA, so I thought it would be better to post the info for the CUDA-less build.
The build process (cmake and make), runs without problems. When I run the tests with “make check”, the test MdrunModulesTests times out (after about 120 sec). I haven’t been able to find more information about what exactly is MdrunModulesTests checking, so I’m writing to ask how serious it is, what could be the cause of the problem, and how could I fix it.
Below is some system info and the output of “gmx mdrun -version”:
The system runs Fedora 32. The relevant output of “gcc --version” is:
gcc (GCC) 10.2.1 20201016 (Red Hat 10.2.1-6)
