The sequence of commands you have entered above is correct, but that's 
apparently not what's actually happening in your terminal.  The error indicates 
you are trying to use CMake to build within /home/okayuka/Gromacs, not 
/home/okayuka/Gromacs/gromacs-4.6.1.  That would happen if perhaps you had 
forgotten to cd into gromacs-4.6.1.
