Hi Xiang, maybe the solution is simple and you just didn't use the "-- 
enable-mpi" flag in the ./configure step.
That explains the duplicate steps.

Try a quick "ldd" test to check if MPI compilation worked.

% which mdrun_mpi     (find where mdrun was installed, mine is at /usr/ 
local/gmx4/bin/)
% ldd /usr/local/gmx4/bin/mdrun_mpi

You should see "libmpi.so.0" in the list of libraries, if not, go back  
to the ./configure step.
