You have to make sure, that the binaries and libraries installed in
$GROMACS/bin and $GROMACS/lib are found by the terminal, which can be
achieved by sourcing the corresponding GMXRC file.

Actually it should work like

source $GROMACS/bin/GMXRC

However I experienced a hanging terminal for this procedure, but if you
choose the script corresponding to your type of console (on Ubuntu you
will usually use bash), it should work. So just put the line

. $GROMACS/bin/GMXRC.bash

or

source $GROMACS/bin/GMXRC.bash

in your .bashrc (do not forget the "." at the beginning of the line),
open a new terminal and type:

which mdrun

This should give you:

$GROMACS/bin/mdrun

If it does, everything is fine and you can have fun with Gromacs,
otherwise post your output, that you can get help.
