After considerable trial and building/testing errors, what follows is as simplified a complete installation and (non-X11/QM) testing of Amber10 and OpenMPI 1.3 as I think can be procedure'd in Ubuntu 8.10 (and likely previous and subsequent Ubuntu versions), dealing specifically with assorted issues with root permissions and variable definitions as per the standard procedure for Amber10 installation.
I'll begin with the short procedure and bare minimum notes, then will address a multitude of specific problems that may (did) arise during all of the build procedures. The purpose for listing everything, it is hoped, is to make these errors appear in google during searches so that, when you come/came across the errors, your search will have provided some amount of useful feedback (and, for a few of the problems I had with previous builds of other programs, this blog is the ONLY thing that comes up in google).
Some of the content below is an extension of the single-processor build of Amber10 I posted previously. In the interest of keeping the reading to a minimum, the short procedure below is light on explanations that are provided in the long procedure that follows. If you're running on a multi-core computer (and who isn't anymore), you likely want to take advantage of the MPI capability, so I would advise simply following the procedure below and IGNORING the previous post (as I also state at the top of the previous page).
Enough blabbering.

Amber10, OpenMPI 1.3, Ubuntu 8.10: The Easy, Teenage New York Version
0a. I assume you're working from a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10. Some of what is below is Ubuntu-specific because of the way that Ubuntu decides to deal with the Root/Administrator/User relationship. That said, much is the same and I'll try to remark accordingly.
0b. As with the previous post, I am writing this with an expected audience of a non-technical Linux user, which means more detail of the steps and not just "cd $HOME and ./config -> make -> make install." If the steps are too obvious to you, find someone who thinks a Terminal window is one that won't close and let them do it. Speaking of…
0c. Everything below is done from a Terminal window. The last icon you will use is the Terminal icon you click on. If you've never had the pleasure in Ubuntu Desktop, go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. You can save yourself some time dragging around menus by hovering over the Terminal icon, right-clicking, and "Add this launcher to panel."
0d. One more thing for the absolute newbies. I am assuming that you've used Firefox to download OpenMPI 1.3, the AmberTools 1.2 and Amber10 bz2 files, and the bugfix.all files for AmberTools 1.2 and Amber10 (more on that in 0e). That's all you'll need for the installation below. Note that I'm not dealing with X11 (library specifications and other testing to do first), MKL (the Intel Math Kernel Library), or the GOTO BLAS libraries. The default download folder for Firefox in a fresh installation of Ubuntu is the Desktop. I will assume your files are on the Desktop, which will then be moved around in the installation procedure below.
0e. bugfix.all (Amber10) and bugfix.all (AmberTools 1.2) – Yes, the Amber people provide both of these files for the two different programs using the same name. As I assume you're using Firefox to download these files from their respective pages, I recommend that you RENAME the bugfix.all file for AmberTools 1.2 to bugfix_at.all, which is the naming convention I use in the patching step of the installation process (just to keep the confusion down). In case you've not had the pleasure yet, instead of clicking on the bugfix.all link on each page and saving the file that loads, simply right-click and "Save Link As…", then save the AmberTools 1.2 bugfix.all file as bugfix_at.all.
0f. This OpenMPI 1.3 build and series of Amber10 tests assumes SMP (symmetric multi-processing) only, meaning you run only with the CPUs on your motherboard. The setup of OpenMPI for cluster-based computing is a little more complicated and is not presented below (but is in process for write-up).
0g. And, further, I am not using the OpenMPI you can install by simply sudo apt-get install libopenmpi1 linopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin openmpi-doc for two reasons. First, that installs OpenMPI 1.2.8 (I believe), which mangles one of the tests in such a way that I feared for subsequent stability in Amber10 work I might find myself doing. Second, I want to eventually be able to build OpenMPI around other Fortran compilers (specifically g95 or the Intel Fortran Compiler) or INSERT OPTION X and, therefore, prefer to build from source.
So, from a Terminal window, the mostly comment-free/comment-minimal and almost flawless procedure is as follows. Blindly assume that everything I am doing, especially in regards to WHERE this build is occurring and WHAT happens in the last few steps, is for a good reason (explained in detail later)…

Amber10, OpenMPI 1.3, Ubuntu 8.10: The Notes
What follows is the complete list of problems, questions, errors, issues, and general craziness from much trial and error for the installation procedure above. As you can guess from my constant mentioning of Ubuntu in my statements-with-qualifications, some of these problems likely will not occur in other distros. My primary reason for the extended discussion below is so that the errors and issues make their way into google so that people searching for fixes to these problems (if they come across them) will see actual content (if they choose to read it) and maybe find a reasonable fix.
I'll be expanding in sections by grouping numbers above.
0a – 0g Installation Preparations
I've not much to add here except that OpenMPI is likely not the only way to install MPI Amber10 in Ubuntu, but I think it is easier than MPICH2 to set up cross-cluster calculations on a switch'ed network. My stronger preference for OpenMPI stems from both past positive experience with OpenMPI and GROMACS (specifically on my Macbook Pro) and eventual success with OpenMPI 1.2.X and Abinit 5.6.5. I had hoped to use the same version of OpenMPI for GROMACS, Amber10, and Abinit, but ran into a yet-to-be-resolved issue with OpenMPI 1.3.x in the building of Abinit (the problem is, apparently, resolved in the upcoming 1.4.1 build, but I'm not much for using release candidates. I'll be discussing this in an upcoming Abinit installation post based on my previous Abinit installation post).
1 – 2 apt-get
My listed apt-get installation set contains many, many programs and libraries that are not necessarily needed in the OpenMPI and Amber10 build but are required for other programs. The apt-get approach is still much cleaner than installing the entire OpenSuse or Fedora DVD, but you do find yourself scrambling the first time you try to install anything to determine what programs are missing. You don't know you need csh installed until the test scripts fail. You forget about ssh until you run mpirun for the first time. I do not yet know if MKL, GOTO, or any of the X11-based AmberTools programs require additional libraries to be installed, so the above apt-get list may grow. Check the comments section at bottom for updates.
The list below shows essential programs and libraries AND their suggested additional installs. As long as you're online and apt-get'ing anyway, might as well not risk missing something for your next compiling adventure.
g++ g++-multilib g++-4.3-multilib gcc-4.3-doc libstdc++6-4.3-dbg libstdc++6-4.3-doc
gfortran gfortran-multilib gfortran-doc gfortran-4.3-multilib gfortran-4.3-doc libgfortran3-dbg
autoconf autoconf2.13 autobook autoconf-archive gnu-standards autoconf-doc libtool gettext

3 – 9 .bashrc and .profile Modifications, Building In Your Own Directory
For a number of programs, the procedure from source is ./configure, make, and make install, make install often only responsible for moving folders into the correct directories (specifically, directories only root has access to, such as /usr/local/bin, /lib, and /opt). In many distributions, this final step is actually sudo make install. This division of make and make install is not preserved in Amber, which complicates the Ubuntu build slightly. The building in $HOME/Documents (as I've described the procedure above) saves you from having to constantly sudo the extraction and building process in directories you, the typical user, do not have access to write into.
Working in $HOME\Documents (or any of your $HOME folders) allows for the complete build and testing of AmberTools and Amber10.
The other benefit from doing as much in $HOME as possible is the lack of a need to define variables as the root user (specifically, AMBERHOME, MPI_HOME, and DO_PARALLEL) by setting variables in the root .bashrc and .profile files, adding lines to the Makefiles for AmberTools and Amber10, or setting variables at prompts. This variable specification issue arises because when you run a program with sudo, you invoke the root privileges and the root variable definitions, so any specifications you make for your PATH or these Amber-specific variables are lost.
Once the build is complete in the $HOME/Documents folder, we move the entire directory into /opt, my default location for all programs I build from source (but $HOME/Documents is just fine as well once the PATH is set).
10 – 14 OpenMPI 1.3
So, why not then use OpenMPI 1.2.x? The build of Amber10 works just fine with OpenMPI 1.2.x in Ubuntu with all of the installation specifications described in Step 2 of the short procedure (the extensive apt-get). The problem with 1.2.x occurs for a single test after the Amber10 build that I've not yet figured out a workaround for, but the error is sinister enough that I decided to not risk similar errors in my own Amber work and, instead, use OpenMPI 1.3.x, which does not suffer the same error. The only (ONLY) test to fail with OpenMPI 1.2.x is the cnstph (constant pH simulation) test, which runs perfectly well but fails at the close of the calculation (you can test this yourself by changing the nstlim value in the mdin file to any arbitrarily large number). The failure message, which kills the test series, is below. This job also fails if you simply try to run it independently of the pre-defined test set (not the make test.parallel.MM, but cd'ing into the cnstph directory, setting variables, and running the script).

Errors like this one scare me to no end, especially when the error seems to be in the proper termination of a process (such as writing final positions or data files) and you risk such errors occurring after 2 week simulations with no way to get your data back. If you decide (if it's already installed, for instance) to use OpenMPI 1.2.x with Amber10 but still want to test the build, I'd suggest simply commenting out (#) the line
# cd cnstph && ./Run.cnstph
from the Makefile in the ../test directory. I can't imagine this happens in all other distributions, but I also don't know what the problem could be given that all of the other tests work just fine. That said, there's a failed test for the OpenMPI 1.3.x build as well when you forget to run the tests from csh, but that has nothing to do with OpenMPI (see below).
16 – 19 Building Amber10 and AmberTools At $HOME
As described in the 3 – 9 section above, the problem with not building in your $HOME directory is the passing of variables in the build processes. For instance, if you set MPI_HOME in your $HOME .bashrc file and then sudo make parallel, the error you'll see is
Starting installation of Amber10 (parallel) at Mon Mar 9 22:30:36 EDT 2009.
cd sander; make parallel
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/amber10/src/sander'
./checkparconf

make[1]: *** [constants.o] Error 243
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/amber10/src/sander'
make: *** [parallel] Error 2
because the MPI_HOME variable is not specified for root. Performing the compilation in $HOME/Documents avoids this issue.
If you want to build Amber and AmberTools in /opt as root for some reason and do not want to deal with modifying the .bashrc and .profile files in /root, you can modify the appropriate Amber files to define the variables needed for both building and testing. For AmberTools testing, you need to define AMBERHOME, which you do at the top of Makefile_at.
cd ../test/
sudo pico Makefile_at
include ../src/config.h
AMBERHOME=/opt/amber10/
export AMBERHOME
test: is_amberhome_defined \
sudo make -f Makefile_at test
For the Amber10 build process, you would need to modify configure_amber at the top of the file to specify the MPI_HOME variable.
sudo pico configure_amber
#!/bin/sh
#set -xv
MPI_HOME=/
export MPI_HOME
command="$0 $*"
For the Amber10 testing process, you would need to assign both AMBERHOME (so the tests know where to look for the executables) and DO_PARALLEL (so the tests know to use OpenMPI) at the top of the file.
cd ../test/
sudo pico Makefile
include ../src/config_amber.h
AMBERHOME=/opt/amber10
export AMBERHOME
DO_PARALLEL=mpirun -np 4
export DO_PARALLEL
SHELL=/bin/sh
It otherwise makes no difference at all how you choose to do things so long as the program gets built. Much of the Ubuntu literature I've stumbled across attempts to make people avoid doing anything to change the root account settings, which was the approach I chose to use in the "Easy" procedure above.
20 – 21 Patching Amber10 and AmberTools 1.2
No surprises and not necessary for building. Do it anyway. And patch is included as one of the apt-get'ed programs. Simply be cognizant of the naming of the bugfix files (the directories are the same for both Amber10 and AmberTools and the patch is simply applied to the files it finds).
22 – 24 Building AmberTools
Your choices for the AmberTools build are fairly limited. Via configure_at –help,
Usage: ./configure_at [flags] compiler
where compiler is one of:
gcc, icc, solaris_cc, irix_cc, osf1_cc
If not specified then gcc is used.
Option flags:
-mpi use MPI for parallelization
-scalapack use ScaLAPACK for linear algebra (utilizes MPI)
-openmp Use OpenMP pragmas for parallelization (icc, solaris_cc,gcc(>4.2))
-opteron options for solaris/opteron
-ultra2 options for solaris/ultra2
-ultra3 options for solaris/ultra3
-ultra4 options for solaris/ultra4
-bit64 64-bit compilation for solaris
-perflib Use solaris performance library in lieu of LAPACK and BLAS
-cygwin modifications for cygwin/windows
-p4 use optimizations specific for the Intel Pentium4 processor
-altix use optimizations specific for the SGI Altix with icc
-static create statically linked executables
-noX11 Do not build programs that require X11 libraries, e.g. xleap.
-nobintraj Delete support for binary (netCDF) trajectory files
-nosleap Do not build sleap, which requires unantiquated compilers.
Environment variables:
MKL_HOME If present, will link in Intel's MKL libraries (icc,gcc)
GOTO If present, and MKL_HOME is not set, will use this location
for the Goto BLAS routines
We're building gcc (default) with the above installs. Running ./configure -noX11 with the apt-get-installed programs above should produce the following output.

The next step is to type 'make -f Makefile_at'
25 – 28 Testing AmberTools
As a quick head's up, if you don't have csh installed, your test will fail at the following step with the following error:
cd ptraj_rmsa && ./Run.rms
/bin/sh: ./Run.rms: not found
make: *** [test.ptraj] Error 127
Otherwise, you can see the output from my test set HERE. Installing csh is much easier than modifying multiple Run scripts.
That said, the one fix I do perform is to modify the mopac.sh file only slightly in accordance with the post by Mark Williamson on the Vanderbilt University Amber Listserve (the first stumbling block a ran into during testing).
29 – 31 Building Parallel Amber10
Running ./configure_amber -openmpi gfortran should output the following:

32 – 35 Automatic ssh Login
These step saves you from constantly having to input your password for the mpirun testing phase. This strictness to password provision is because of ssh (and, because I have machines both online and accessible, I prefer to deal with setting up the ssh side right instead of not having that layer of security). The first time you run mpirun, ssh will throw back at you the following:
The authenticity of host ‘userid-desktop (127.0.1.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is eb:86:24:66:67:0a:7a:7b:44:95:a6:83:d2:a8:68:01.
