Read the README in the pmemd directory about handling mpich configuration
problems. You probably need to execute a 'mpif77 -link_info' command on
your system to see exactly what libraries are needed for your mvapich
implementation, and where they are located. You then modify the appropriate
pieces of the first approximate config.h that you have. It is pretty hard
to get all this stuff right with different OS's and different versions of
the different mpi implementations. In an ideal world, pmemd would by
issuing the 'mpif77 -link_info' itself and extracting the necessary info,
but that unfortunately does not work at all installations either (so there
is a problem with the diversity of things we can see at various
supercomputer installations). Anyway, try the above, and let me know how
much further you get.
