errors in votca installation

[Takahiro Ohkuma]

Hi users and developers

I am trying to install Votca software according to the procedure written in tutorials; http://www.votca.org/tutorials/coarse-graining.
Before installing votca, I installed gromacs version 5.1 with double precision, and libgromacs_d.so was found during the installation of csg package. However I got error messages as below.
Could anyone help me to install votca?

CMake Error at CMakeModules/FindGROMACS.cmake:61 (message):
  Could not find neither gmx_is_single_precision nor gmx_is_double_precision
  in the gromacs library, that is very very strange, take look at the error message.
  This most likely means that your gromacs version is too old, we need at least gromacs 5 !

Best regards
Takahiro

Can you post the end of CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log?

Dear Christoph

Here is the problem! Which version of cmake are you using?
Is it 2.8.10? If so you got hit by a bug in try_compile (see footnote
82 <https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Version_Compatibility_Matrix/Commands#cite_ref-82>)
for that version.
Try to update cmake!

Dear Christoph

Thank you very much for your advice!
The installation was successfully done by updating cmake. FYI, the version of cmake I had used before is 2.8.8.

Best regards
Takahiro

I dumped the minimally needed cmake version a bit:
