I took the following notes while installing Gromacs 4.6.1 recently. Hopefully others will find them useful.
The software was compiled and installed on a CentOS 5.9 x86_64 containing QDR Infiniband. The system uses SGE (Grid Engine) as it's scheduler.
Intel compilers 13.1.1 were used to compile both OpenMPI and Gromacs.
Intel Compilers
I used version 13.1.1 of the Intel compilers. I'm including the module file here for reference

Build OpenMPI 1.6.4
First, build the latest OpenMPI with the Intel compilers. This version of OpenMPI will reside in the Gromacs 4.6.1 install path.
- Create the install base directory
cd /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build
wget http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.4.tar.bz2
- Create the build script for Intel compilers: /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build/build-openmpi-intel.sh
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
ver=1.6
rel=1.6.4
grover=4.6.1
src="openmpi-${rel}.tar.bz2"
url="http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v${ver}/downloads/${src}"
compiler="intel"
basedir="/share/apps/gromacs/${grover}/openmpi"
prefix="${basedir}/${rel}-${compiler}"
if [ -d $prefix ]; then
echo "Installation directory already exists, exiting to prevent overwrite: $prefix";
exit 1
else
echo "Verified installation directory does not exist: $prefix"
fi
if [ ! -f $src ]; then
echo "Downloading source code from: $url";
wget $url;
else
echo "Using existing source code: $src";
fi
if [ -d "openmpi-${rel}" ]; then
echo "Removing existing build directory ./openmpi-${rel}"
rm -rf openmpi-${rel};
fi
echo "Extracting $src"
tar -jxf $src
cd openmpi-${rel}
echo "Building OpenMPI $rel for Intel compilers"
echo "Running configure"
module purge
module load intel/intel-compilers-13.1.1
CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort ./configure --with-sge --with-openib --prefix=$prefix --enable-static --enable-shared
make all install
module purge
cd ..
- Run the compile and install
./build-openmpi-intel.sh | tee openmpi-1.6.4-intel.log
- Create the module file (based off of [http://www.levlafayette.com/node/145 this example]) in the Gromacs base directory
mkdir -p /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/modulefiles/gromacs-openmpi-intel

Build Gromacs 4.6.1
Official Gromacs 4.6
build instructions
They have changed dramatically from versions 4.5 and prior.
One requirement listed is that we need CMake version 2.8 or later. EPEL provides CMake 2.6.4, so we'll need to build CMake from scratch.
- Download the latest CMake from here: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
sudo mkdir /share/apps/cmake
sudo chown mhanby:atlab /share/apps/cmake
cd /share/apps/cmake
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.10.2-Linux-i386.tar.gz
tar -zxf cmake-2.8.10.2-Linux-i386.tar.gz
- Create the build directory and download the source
mkdir -p /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build
cd /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build
wget ftp://ftp.gromacs.org/pub/gromacs/gromacs-4.6.1.tar.gz
tar -zxf gromacs-4.6.1.tar.gz
mkdir gromacs-4.6.1/build
cd gromacs-4.6.1/build
- Create the module files
mkdir /share/apps/modulefiles/gromacs-intel
vim /share/apps/modulefiles/gromacs-intel/4.6.1
