The "path_to_custom_openmm_installation" is a hint for you to specify a real 
path.  If you used it, and somehow magically the installation finished with no 
errors, I'd be amazed.  Otherwise, please provide your real commands here, 
rather than the copy/pasted generic framework.

This sounds more like an environmental problem, rather than something to do with 
Gromacs.

You previously stated that the normal, non-GPU mdrun executable was hanging. 
Start there.  If your Gromacs installation is nonfunctional, sort that out first 
before adding a layer of complexity with GPU settings.
