[gmx-users] Virtual site and constraints

Hello!
I would like to involve formate molecule (HCOO-)in my dynamics, but I have the problem when I use virtual site (type 3fd)for it.

When I run grompp for single formate molecule, it`s ok.
But after solvating in bath of solvent (tip3p) grompp runs with error:

Cleaning up constraints and constant bonded interactions with virtual sites
Removed      1     Proper Dih.s with virtual sites,     0 left
Converted    1      Constraints with virtual sites to connections,     2 left
ERROR: Cannot have constraint (5-1) with virtual site (1)

-------------------------------------------------------
Program grompp, VERSION 3.3.1
Source code file: vsite_parm.c, line: 686

Fatal error:
There were 1034 virtual sites involved in constraints
-------------------------------------------------------

And 1034 is number of water molecules. In my mdp file the line that corresponds to constraints is
"constraints = none". This is my topology:

Could You help me to solve this roblem!
