Hi,

These are not the installation steps you said you followed. Those previous
instructions were for a non-MPI build. You've done an MPI build, which
explains all your problems. Please be precise ;-)

I don't know. The tool is called gmx solvate.

my installation steps are follwoing -

You have only installed an MPI build, where gmx gets suffixed to gmx_mpi.
If you want the non-MPI tools (which is normal, since only mdrun works with
MPI), make and install a non-MPI build.
