Gromacs programs are backwards-compatible, but if the .tpr file version has 
changed between revisions, they are not forward-compatible.  A version 73 .tpr 
file is from Gromacs version 4.5.4, so the error comes when you try to use an 
older Gromacs version to run it.  Stick with one version of Gromacs (preferrably 
the newest) and use it for everything.  Having multiple versions lying around 
unnecessarily can be problematic when you might wind up using executables from 
different installations.
