The second -np 2 is only needed for old versions of MPI, but I don't 
know if this will help your problem.

   
   
  Thanks for taking the time to answer, I really appreciate this!
  I tried:
  grompp -f md.mdp -c b.gro -p topol.top -v -np 2
  followed by:
mpirun -np 2 mdrun_mpi -s -v
   
  with the same result as previously. Was this what you meant?
  If so, are there any other flags that I could try to set?
   
  For some reason it seems that mpirun does not send the information 
  (that 2 processors are to be used) to mdrun_mpi, or that mdrun_mpi does not receive the information from mpirun. What could be the reason for that?
   
  Thanks,
  Søren Enemark
