[gmx-users] problem with downloaded lipid bilayer

[Carl-Johan Högberg]

Hi again

No the only output i get is the following:

------------------
Back Off! I just backed up step0.pdb to ./#step0.pdb.1#
Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates
Warning: Only triclinic boxes with the first vector parallel to the 
x-axis and the second vector in the xy-plane are supported.
         Box (3x3):
            Box[    0]={         nan,          nan,          nan}
            Box[    1]={         nan,          nan,          nan}
            Box[    2]={         nan,          nan,          nan}
         Can not fix pbc.
--------------------

This message is repeted over and over.

My *.top file looks like this:


------------------
; Include forcefield parameters
#include "ffgmx.itp"

; Include chain topologies
#include "dmpc.itp"

; Include water topology
#ifdef FLEX_SPC
#include "flexspc.itp"
#else
#include "spc.itp"
#endif

#ifdef POSRES_WATER
