Hi Dr. Case,

Thank you for your help. I added the parser.c file, and the serial
compilation of AMBER worked.

... Though I have another problem now. It's about compiling Sander in
parallel. Although I've searched the mailing list archives extensively,
none of what's been discussed addresses the issue. It has to do with the
make install function, and I'm trying to do a test run of sander. I have
already compiled my MPI library (the MPICH2 version). Here's my input code
(in bold) and the errors:

*$ export AMBERHOME="/nas/lpeng/src/amber9"*
*$ export MPI_HOME="/nas/lpeng/opt"*
*$ export CC=icc*
*$ export FC=ifort*
*$ ./configure --prefix=/nas/lpeng/opt CC=$CC FC=$FC*
*$ make*
*$ make install*
*$ ./configure -mpich2 -p4 -static ifort_ia32*
*$ make parallel*

... and Amber 9 was compiled successfully. Following the compiling
instructions, I continued on..

*$ export DO_PARALLEL="/nas/lpeng/src/mpich2-1.0.6p1/bin/mpirun -np 4"*
*$ make test.sander*

Then I get the error:

make: *** No rule ot make target 'test.sander'. Stop.

I also tried:

*$ make test.parallel*

..and receive in response:

export TESTsander=/nas/lpeng/src/amber9/exe/sander.MPI/exe/sander.MPI; make
test.sander.BASIC
make[1]: Entering directory `/nas/lpeng/src/amber9/test'
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

==============================================================
cd cytosine; ./Run.cytosine
mpiexec_granite.ucsd.edu: cannot connect to local mpd
(/tmp/mpd2.console_lpeng); possible causes:
  1. no mpd is running on this host
  2. an mpd is running but was started without a "console" (-n option)
In case 1, you can start an mpd on this host with:
    mpd &
and you will be able to run jobs just on this host.
For more details on starting mpds on a set of hosts, see
the MPICH2 Installation Guide.
  ./Run.cytosine: Program error
make[1]: *** [test.sander.BASIC] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/nas/lpeng/src/amber9/test'
make: *** [test.sander.BASIC.MPI] Error 2

Do you have any leads on what is causing this to occur? Any input from your
end would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Lili
