<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div><br></div><div>I'm installing parallel version of Molpro, but am a little unsure of myself...<div><br></div><div>From what I understand, you can install Molpro with <b><u>either</u></b> GlobalArrays or an MPI implementation. Seeing as how my cluster already has OpenMPI 1.4.3 bundled with the Intel compilers, I'm opting to install with that library. So the corresponding ./configure command is as below…</div>

<div><br></div><div>I'm used to ./config scripts being pretty much automatic, so this is somewhat disconcerting. </div><div><br></div><div>Basically: Should I just accept the default values for the prompts?

It starts building "boost 1_55_0"… what exactly is that? Internet says they are C++ libraries, but I've been running C++ programs for a while, linking to various libraries (math.h, stdio.h, iostream, etc). Are they specialized C++ libraries for Molpro's use?</div>
