Every time I run -fee option it gives me an inf.  

g_energy -f arrun_long.edr -fee -fetemp 300

Is this the free energy between the ideal gas and the system and not the
other way around as described below.

How does one generate a second energy file for the with EB energies from
the same trajectory in gromacs? mdrun does not give an option to write a
second energy file with the perturbed configuration.? I would really
like to use this to do FEP calcs. I have gotten around this with
dv/dlambda equal to deltaE between the two states if the mutation is
just in the LJC(lennard Jones) potential
