Can't you provide binaries for my system? |

The problem is that we want the highest possible performance, and to achieve this it is necessary to adapt compiler flags to your processor type. We also use special mathematic libraries from several hardware manufacturers, and different versions of MPI for parallel runs. This means we would have to provide about 10 different sets of binaries for each processor on each operation system, and keep them updated for each new release. Sorry, but that's simply not possible.
However, for Linux running on x86 computers it doesn't matter which compiler flags we use since it doesn't affect the assembly loops, and we can thus distribute RPM packages of GROMACS. If you want to run in parallel you probably have to install our versions of the LAM MPI packages to get the correct version, or compile GROMACS yourself.
