The command below makes no sense; how is it that you were able to produce a .tpr 
file for your simulation?

This is not the command you typed (it contains several errors, both logical and 
typographical), and it certainly has nothing to do with the error below, as no 
reference is made to a file called "hex1.gro."  When reporting problems, please 
always copy and paste directly from your terminal.  Re-typing what you think you 
typed is error prone and wastes time.

I/O errors occur when either a file isn't found in the working directory (i.e. 
doesn't exist) or can't be produced (insufficient permission or disk space to 
write the file).
