David,

Thank you. My mdrun_mpi has problems with parallel computing. I don't
know why. I recompile gromacs, then it works now. I have saved the old
Makefile before "make distclean". I find it is the same as the new
Makefile, then I don't understand why the old mdrun_mpi didn't work.



Thank you very much for your help!
