g_energy is not MPI-aware - see 
http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Installation#Using_MPI - so don't 
compile it, and don't attempt to run it in parallel. Most of the GROMACS 
utility programs are intended to run from the command line rather than 
on a compute cluster.

The above syntax is not how to use g_energy in an automated fashion. See 
  http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Making_Commands_Non-Interactive for 
discussion of your options.
