For your information, the procedure is: $ grompp ... (to generate minimize.tpr)
$ lamboot $ l$ mdrun_mpi -np 4 -v -s minimize.tpr -o mod21_traj.trr -c mod21.gro -e mod21_ener.edr It worked nicely, exactly as the serial run "mdrun -v -s minimize.tpr ...". No interference with installed openmpi, no need to mention lam in the md command line. Forget about the Debian compilation, it does not require any special command.
