Hi,

I am trying to compile gromacs on a mac with the new intel dual core processors.
I am running into trouble with the assembly loops during ./configure

......
checking whether your compiler can handle assembly files (*.s)... yes
checking whether as understands 'lock cmpxchg'... no
configure: error: Upgrade to binutils >= 2.12.1 (or disable assembly loops).


as -v reveals

[15] [11:16am] [senthilk] ~/local/gromacs-3.3 ---> as -v
Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-590.23.2.obj~17, GNU assembler version 1.38

I do not really care for assembly loops since I do not plan to use this machine for production. Just for simulation setup (grompp etc) and some analysis.

I am not sure which flag I am supposed to use for disabling assembly loops. I tried a few options like --disable-asm , --disable-sse , -- disable-x86-sse , etc. but none of them seems to work.

Can anybody suggest how to get this thing compiled please ?
In general
./configure --help
will tell you, but your machine is too new

There is support for it in CVS, you'll have to use:
cvs co -r release-3-3-patches gmx
and see instructions on the website

Thanks in advance
