<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Indeed, the symlinks were a short-term convenience feature that were never intended to remain in the long term. The virtues of a single wrapper binary are discussed at length at <a href="http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/685">http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/685</a>. We appreciate the inconvenience to users of updating scripts and thinking from "mdrun" to "gmx mdrun" but feel it is outweighed by the long-term benefit to users from GROMACS being more friendly to distributions that might package it. mdrun is a program name used by other packages, and forcing package maintainers to come up with their own custom solutions, or give up on GROMACS, is a worse solution. </p>

<p dir="ltr">It was announced that the symlinks would not be made anymore in GMX 5.1. You'll have to use 'gmx mdrun'.</p>
