You're trying to solve multiple problems at once.  You told Mark that the normal 
mdrun executable (which works independently of any GPU components) also hangs, 
so either your filesystem is faulty or your installation procedure produced 
nonfunctional executables.

You're posting bits and pieces of information, which makes it incredibly hard 
for anyone to help you.  Let's recap and try again.  Please provide:

1. The Gromacs version you're using
2. Description of the hardware (GPU and non-GPU components)
3. Installation procedure for Gromacs and any of the prerequisite software and 
libraries that were required, including versions
4. The exact command(s) you're issuing, including the full script that is 
causing a problem
