[gmx-users] "Cannot allocate memory" by grompp

[Sandeep Somani]

Hi 

I am testing a fresh gmx3.3 installation on a new dual opteron cluster
running redhat linux. 

Did the standard pdb2gmx -> energy minimization -> position restrained (PR)
MD and everything was fine. 

But next when I did grompp for production run, got the following: 
"
-------------------------------------------------------
Program grompp_d, VERSION 3.3
Source code file: smalloc.c, line: 113

Fatal error:
calloc for pairs->param (nelem=664225, elsize=152, file topio.c, line 125)
-------------------------------------------------------

"Is This the Right Room for an Argument ?" (Monty Python)
: Cannot allocate memory
"

To trouble shoot I tried repeating the successful PR run and strangely
enough got the same error with grompp. 

Suddenly grompp broke down or something went wrong with the cluster here. 

I am clueless. Looking fwd to some pointers .. 

Regards
Sandeep
