[gmx-users] Simulation in octanol as solvent

[nur avneet]

Dear All..
 i want to add octanol as solvent...bt everytime i give genbox command it says 0 solvent molecules added.
 I got the octanol equilibrated box from gromacs contributors section. it was of ffooplsa type...when i changed the atom types and topology through prodrg...the same problem persists.
 
 bash-3.00# /usr/local/gromacs/bin/genbox -cp kif1g_md_box_oct.gro -cs octanol512.gro -o kif1g_md_oct.gro -p kif1g.top

 WARNING: masses will be determined based on residue and atom names,
          this can deviate from the real mass of the atom type

 Checking Protein-Solvent overlap: tested 941 pairs, removed 378 atoms.
 Checking Solvent-Solvent overlap: tested 32848 pairs, removed 2187 atoms.
 Added 152 molecules
 Generated solvent containing 4104 atoms in 152 residues
 Writing generated configuration to kif1g_md_oct.gro
 
 Back Off! I just backed up kif1g_md_oct.gro to ./#kif1g_md_oct.gro.2#
 DRG
 
 Output configuration contains 4172 atoms in 153 residues
 Volume                 :     58.7777 (nm^3)
 Density                :      541.15 (g/l)
 Number of SOL molecules:      0
 
 Please guide...wheres the problem....
