Apparently your computer does not have the X window libraries necessary to 
install ngmx, and thus it was skipped during installation.

Note that there are vastly better tutorials available for learning Gromacs.  The 
demo doesn't teach much of anything, it just runs through some commands.  It was 
for that reason that the demo was removed for version 4.6.
