Dear Mark,
When I enter from root account the following is the result:
linux:~ # which mdrun
/sbin/mdrun
linux:~ # which grompp
/usr/bin/grompp
linux:~ #

But from user account the
 which mdrun
usr/bin/mdrun
and also the
 which grompp
/usr/bin/grompp occured. Actually I have very little experience with linux.I install VMD which didn't open in user account but opened only in root account so I do MD simulation in root accounts.If I do Md simulation from user account is this problem arises or not? Is there any command so that mdrun also operate in root account? A few mentioned in past mails archive of gromacs didn't work as I used them.

Don't ever use the root account for daily usage. It's like driving your car while you haven't finished major maintenance.

If you follow the VMD installation instructions properly, it will work from user accounts, as with any other decent software. You should fix the cause of the VMD problem, or you'll only create more problems for yourself - such as the above. That said, you'll probably struggle to actually fix the existing consequences of your root usage... so re-installing the OS and starting again is a serious option.

These problems have nothing to do with GROMACS, so you should consider alternative sources of information on the web.

Mark
