Yes. I also found that.
Because  I want to use the COM of the reference group to calculate the sdf,
and the problem of "-r" flag, I rewrite this program. It works. But it seems
my program always uses too much memory. Who can give some suggestions to
save the memory?  Thanks a lot!


So I use a representative molecule, rotate to match the sdf
