I was instructed (by the configure script) to do "make -f Makefile_at
clean" and "Make -f Makefile_at parallel" after running ./configure
-mpi. So I duly did so. That was what took out the netcdf libraries.
I have in the past been bitten by not doing a "make clean" between
serial and parallel builds of the same component, be it Tools or Amber.
So I saw the need for another make clean in that instance.
I suppose parallel tools is optional, and if I didn't build it I could
do away with that step, and just do "make clean" and "make parallel" to
get parallel Sander.
I suppose netcdf would be built again if I were building serial Amber.
It seems that the problem stems from some part of the need to remove
serial object files (hence the make clean), together with not all
"serial" bits being rebuilt when I've asked for a "parallel" build. I'll
look into it some more, probably not today though.
Ben
