[gmx-users] Gromacs under Windows

[Cornel, J.]

Hi, 

I am running Gromacs under Windows 2000 and am reworking the MD course of RUG with the protein lysozyme. The pdb-file was succesfully converted into aki.top and aki.gro but when I try to generate the tpr-file with grompp I get the following error:


Back off! I just backed up mdout.mdp to ./#mdout.mdp.5#
Warning: as of GMX v 2.0 unit of compressibility is truly 1/bar
checking input for internal consistency...
calling C:\Gromacs\bin\cpp...
processing topology...
processing coordinates...
Fatal error: number of coordinates on coordinate file <aki.gro,1555>
		does not match topology (aki.top,0>


But I am sure that these numbers are the same 1 protein of 1321 atoms and 78 water molecules (234) is together 1555.
I also downloaded the minim.mdp file in the MD course and adapted it to my windows system, at least I think I did. It looks likes this:


; LINES STARTING WITH ';' ARE COMMENTS
title		= Minimization of Hen Egg White Lysozyme (1AKI.pdb)	; Title of run

; The following lines tell the program the standard locations where to find certain files
cpp		= C:\Gromacs\bin\cpp	; Preprocessor
include		= C:\Gromacs\share\top\aki.top	; Directories to include in the topology format

; Parameters describing what to do, when to stop and what to save
integrator	= steep		; Algorithm (steep = steepest descent minimization)
emtol		= 1.0		; Stop minimization when the maximum force < 1.0 kJ/mol
nsteps		= 200		; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform
nstenergy	= 10		; Write energies to disk every nstenergy steps
nstxtcout	= 10		; Write coordinates to disk every nstxtcout steps
xtc_grps	= Protein	; Which coordinate group(s) to write to disk
energygrps	= Protein	; Which energy group(s) to write to disk

; Parameters describing how to find the neighbors of each atom and how to calculate the interactions
nstlist		= 5		; Frequency to update the neighbor list and long range forces
ns_type		= simple	; Method to determine neighbor list (simple, grid)
rlist		= 1.0		; Cut-off for making neighbor list (short range forces)
coulombtype	= cut-off	; Treatment of long range electrostatic interactions
rcoulomb	= 1.0		; long range electrostatic cut-off
rvdw		= 1.0		; long range Van der Waals cut-off
constraints	= none		; Bond types to replace by constraints
pbc		= no		; Periodic Boundary Conditions (yes/no)




I hope you can help me because here in Eindhoven nobody works with Gromacs under windows, and consequently nobody can help me to solve the error!

Thanks in advance

kind regards
