[gmx-users] g_dielectric error

[paolo marracino]

Hi, I've some problems in using the command g_dielectric in various example 
of water(spc ,tip5, tip4).The error appears to be the same for each 
model;this is for spc water model:

-------------------------------------------------------
Program g_dielectric, VERSION 3.3
Source code file: expfit.c, line: 465

Fatal error:
nparm = 0 in file expfit.c, line 466
-------------------------------------------------------


I tried to find out what kind of error gromacs is reproducing but in the 
file expfit.c  (in the directory /src/tools ) I couldn't find anything 
useful and so for the file gmx_dielectric.c
Is the nparm error due to bad parmters initialization?
I tried different values for 'A' 'tau1' 'tau2' in g_dielectric but the 
result is the same.
I tried different force fileds in the top file but again nothing.
Any useful tip?
