Hi Oliver Thanks very much. Sorry about the other two e-mails that was a mistake, I had checked the list after I sent the first one and it wasn't on so I thought it wasn't received. I was reading many of those posts today and did realise that there were problems with mpich-1.2.x but they seemed to be for earlier versions of gromacs and it was on this point that I was unsure. Thanks anyway for providing some insight on the matter.
