I'm guessing you're expecting to see multiple executables like "mdrun",
"grompp", etc.  Anyways, there's one executable now that prefixes every command
(started with 5.0, now required in 5.1). For most installs it is "gmx". For MPI
installs it's probably "gmx_mpi". Do you have one of those? If not, there is a
different issue.

(This question is on the mailing list about once every week or two now, so
perhaps someone with access to the wiki can put this on the FAQ?)
