Okay, thanks, I'll look into config.log. Can you tell me about this 
error: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making

In the latest version of Gromacs, "luck" is named "g_luck."  If ngmx was not 
installed, then probably the required X11 libraries were not found on your 
system.  Check the output from configuration (i.e. config.log) for details.
