Please send these messages to amber-developers.scripps.edu (first
subscribe
by sending email to majordomo.scripps.edu with "subscribe

I'll cc this to the developers list in case someone can help.

(Just a note, to everyone: the latest configure scripts follow the pmemd
model, and just use a single environment variable (MPI_HOME) for all forms
of MPI.)

It looks like you need to add -lpmpich to the LOADLIB string in config.h.
I'm guessing that some versions of mpich need this (earlier ones?
different
architectures?, different communicators?) and others don't.
I see that Bob Duke just includes "-lmpich -lpmpich" for mpich, whereas
sander is asking for "-lfmpich -lmpich". Does anyone know if there is a
universal correct answer to this, or a way (as with lam and openmpi) to
tell from the installation itself what is required?
[Aside: Bob's libraries for MPICH2 are also different than sander's. Yet
both seem to work for me on the same machine.... A significant number of
posts on the reflector have to do with parallel installation, so it would
be great to see if we can clean this up somehow.]
