Hello,

I am writing just to tell how the problem was solved.

I contact a person that works with the BlueGene cluster and he installed 
the Gromacs 4.6 in the cluster.
And all my problems were solved. I did not get the same error over and 
over again.

Apparently, it was some problem with the 4.5.5 version.

Thank you all for your help, I learned a lot with all the suggestions.

Cíntia
