Justin,

Sorry if you felt insult.

I was having trouble running the gromacs at that point and therefore turned
to mailing in order to get some help. This topic seems to getting
unnecessary attention of many, which I certainly did not want.

I later found problem with mpdboot etc ( since this was compiled with
mpich2), which I hope to fix tomorrow.

So, please conclude this topic here.

Sincerely,
