Probably my first question is how are you running gmxdemo?  It was removed
from the source code in 2012...before version even the release of 4.6-beta1.

Depends on where GROMACS is installed and what you've done to get gmxdemo
running.  FWIW, it was removed because it wasn't useful and no one wanted to
maintain it.  If it's not working, the solution is to find better tutorial
material, as suggested in README.tutor :)
