[gmx-users] More solvent errors!!!

[Raj Badhan]

Dear Users,
In reply to my previous questions and answers from others with 
regards to a strange error appearing when solvating my protein, I 
have carried out the tutorial by Dr Kerrigan on the drug-enzyme 
complex, and get the same error that I get when running my ATP-
protein solvations using genbox:

Will generate new solvent configuration of 19x18x16 boxes

Found 1 molecule type:
    SOL (   3 atoms): 1181952 residues

Going to determine what solvent types we have.
There are 0 molecules, 3547989 charge groups and 3547989 atoms
There are 0 optimized solvent molecules on node 0
There are 0 optimized water molecules on node 0
Fatal error: realloc for nl->gid (56767816 bytes, file 
C:\source\gromacs-
rc\mdlib\ns.c, line 98, nl->gid=0x0x       0): No such file or directory

I checked the amount of memory requested by the program, and it 
peaked at my max ammount (1.5Gb) before halting.
This seems unusual and strange that it would request soo much 
memory, and similar things occurred running my own protein.
This has been run exactly as stated by Dr Kerrigans' tutorial and 
its baffling me!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
