Not strictly true. You need mdrun_mpi for MPI mdrun if you used the 
combination of --enable-mpi and --program-suffix=_mpi as recommended in 
the gromacs webpage installation guide. If you used only the former then 
obvously mdrun_mpi will not be found. If you used only the latter, then 
that name would refer to a single-processor version(!)

It is not the fact of installing a single processor version followed by 
a multiprocessor version that creates the naming difference, it is the 
use of the --program-suffix directive, which you want to use to avoid 
name clashes. Simply doing a configure with the above directives and 
then just "make install-mdrun" makes a stand-alone MPI mdrun perfectly.
