main.c is in ./src/gmxlib/main.c at least in svn.
Is there no find on your system? If it is, you can type "find . -name main.c" 
in src-root to find it.

On my computer, relevant main.c lines look like this:

#if (defined BUILD_MACHINE && defined BUILD_TIME && defined BUILD_USER)
  fprintf(stdlog,
          "The Gromacs distribution was built %s by\n"
          "%s (%s)\n\n\n",BUILD_TIME,BUILD_USER,BUILD_MACHINE);
#endif

Maybe your compiler breaks down the lines instead of interpreting the two " " 
as one. For me this part looks like perfect c-code but i am not sure 
if "strA""strB" as "strAstrB" is ANSI compliant. You could try to ask on the 
gromacs developer list if there's anyone who could explain or reproduce that 
error.

P.S.: By the way sharada, i am just a diploma student working on his thesis 
and don't have "Dr." (i hope I will get one in future ;-) ). On lists like 
this, i think it's ok for most people to address them just with their first 
names.
