Be careful with doing this!  If you have a broken molecule, your topology may
not be accurate!

Exact command lines and exact output are greatly preferred to your
interpretation of the problem.  Why are you feeding grompp a .tpr file, anyway?
 Its purpose is to create a .tpr file.

Have a look at the following:

Doing a thorough search of the list archives and wiki site will often lead you
to a solution for errors experienced by new users.  Also, please choose an
appropriate subject line to your emails in clear English.  Subjects like yours
often get shifted to the "trash" pile of an individual who would otherwise
probably have good ideas :-)
