Dear Rachel,
 
The fact that you are seeing the error:
 
mpirun: Command not found.

I part of your problem. On IBM Power 4 machines running AIX (I assume you
are running AIX) one typically uses IBM's parallel operating environment
"POE".
 
You would typically run a parallel job setting:
 
setenv MP_NODES 1
setenv MP_TASKS_PER_NODE 8
poe $AMBERHOME/exe/sander.MPI -O blah blah blah
 
poe reads the environment variables to determine the number of cpus to use
rather than using a -np x option like mpirun would.
 
Thus to run the parallel test cases in amber9 you would set the above
environment variables to the combination of nodes and tasks you want and
then run:
 
setenv DO_PARALLEL poe
make test.sander.parallel
 
However, I believe the main issue you are having is with compiling and from
your earlier emails this seemed to be an issue with the mpi installation:
 
#include file "mpif.h" not found.

This could come from two situations. Firstly IBM's mpi might never have been
installed on your machine or secondly your environment variables might not
be configured correctly.
 
Try 'which mpxlf90' and see if it returns /usr/bin/mpxlf90
 
if it says 'mpxlf90: Command not found.' then I suspect mpi is not installed
or possibly installed in a non standard place. Check with whoever setup the
machine to find out which mpi they installed and where.
 
For the moment you should be able to build and test the serial version. I
would advise you to do this first to make sure things are working. Do:
 
cd $AMBERHOME/src
./configure -nopar xlf90_aix
make clean
make
cd ../test
make clean
make
 
All the best
Ross

Hi, Scott,
 
Thanks very much for your reply, however, i am still not clear how to solve

Stop.

As you said the compilation line is broken, how can I make sure i provided
enough details? and if i use 'make test.sander', etc. instead of make
test.parallel, then i got:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
 cd dmp; ./Run.dmp
This test not set up for parallel
 cannot run in parallel with #residues < #pes
        cd adenine; ./Run.adenine
This test not set up for parallel
 cannot run in parallel with #residues < #pes
==============================================================
        cd cytosine; ./Run.cytosine
mpirun: Command not found.
  ./Run.cytosine: Program error
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
 
This is the first time I compile amber myself, and as it is IBM-SP4 machine,
so what i did was just follow Carlos Sosa's Running Amber on IBM systems (
<http://www.msi.umn.edu/~cpsosa/ChemApps/MolMech/amber/patches/amber8/INSTAL
L_ibm>
http://www.msi.umn.edu/~cpsosa/ChemApps/MolMech/amber/patches/amber8/INSTALL
_ibm) on AMBER website, I really appreciate your help if anyone can let me
know some more details of how to do it.
 
Best regards,
Rachel

It looks like the compilation line is broken.
You didn't provide enough detail, so the full command
invoked by make is not clear.

make should be invoking something like, eg

  /lib/cpp -traditional -I/usr/lpp/ppe.poe/include -P
-I/usr/local/srb/9/src/include -DMPI -DNMLEQ -DCLINK_PLAIN -Drs6000 -DPOE
sander.f > _sander.f
  mpxlf90_r -bmaxdata:0x80000000 -c -qfixed -c -qfree -o sander.o
_sander.f

Compare this with the output of make -n
What happens if you enter mpxlf90_r -show -help ?
