Glad that worked for you.

There are ways to setup links or your path variable so you can refer to
namd2 and charmrun without a full path or copying everything into a
folder...

You could try, as root: ln -s /path/to/NAMD/namd2 /usr/bin/namd2; ln -s
/path/to/NAMD/charmrun /usr/bin/charmrun, if /usr/bin is in your path.
***I believe with Fedora, /usr/bin is not in the path variable by
default. This might have changed in newer releases, or I may be wrong.
echo $PATH.

If you added your NAMD folder to your path variable via .bashrc, as
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/NAMD/, then it should also work. Remember to
start a new bash session after editing it.
