I see no compelling reason that you should install version 3.3.2 (unless you 
absolutely need it for consistency with previous work).  It is several years 
old, and has some bugs in it related to using mdrun, IIRC.  Install the latest 
version of Gromacs (4.0.7), it will be much faster and much more reliable.
