Hi Ada,
If you send us the exact command to issue we might include a notice about it in our install docs.
However, in general it's about how a specific system is configured, so the only party who can really fix that is the system administrators :-)
Cheers,
Erik

This was also a problem on Titan (a Cray), and required a Cray PROXY setting and several options for the aprun. I just talked to the NVIDIA folks and others at OLCF and there is in fact a process for turning on this functionality; it is off by default. This will need to be set for each user that wants to run gromacs on the system.
