This is not a full working solution. You don't appear to have done a "make
install" like the installation instructions on the GROMACS webpages
suggest. It is not recommended that you attempt to run GROMACS from the
source installation directory. I strongly suggestion you do the
installation properly, and then source $GROMACSINSTALLDIR/bin/GMXRC and
you will achieve the above and a lot more, and save yourself lots of
hassle in the long run.
