[gmx-users] segmentation fault

[Justin A. Lemkul]

The whole story continues to emerge... :-)

You're probably experiencing this problem because you're trying to 
process two separate proteins with one pdb2gmx command.  You will need 
to separate (i.e., using a text editor) chain A (whatever protein) from 
B&C (insulin).  Process them separately with pdb2gmx, using -merge with 
the insulin portion.  What you'll have to do is then concatenate the 
output structure files (again, text editor or Unix 'cat' command), and 
include the insulin topology within the topol.top from Protein A.  See 
Chapter 5 of the manual for more details on this, but it is essentially 
analogous to including a ligand topology (.itp) within a system topology 
(.top).
