If you're having a problem with some external package, your best bet is to 
contact those developers directly.  Your previous message said that you were 
able to install the package and the executables were in /usr/local/gromacs/bin, 
which probably just means your environment isn't configured properly:

If the installation was actually successful, this is all you should need to do, 
as you would with any Gromacs installation, custom or otherwise.
