[gmx-users] Gromacs 5.1.2 installation problem

[James Graham]

Hi Husen,

In GROMACS version 5.1 the default program naming scheme was changed so 
that everything is now part of the executable 'gmx'.  Because of this 
you need to use 'gmx pdb2gmx' (and e.g. 'gmx grompp', 'gmx mdrun') instead.

The change was actually made in version 5.0, but they left an option to 
use it the old way as well.

Regards,
James
