[gmx-users] mdp file to calculate local pressure

Dear Justin,
     I am using gromacs-localp of version 4.0.2. for the calculation of
local pressure. But I could not understand what I should put in the mdp
file. Because when I tried by the following below mdp file, it does not even
create tpr file. I have tried by different options as for example by using
Wall but failed to get local pressure profile. I thought that I have write
some thing so that it can be ok for giving local pressure. Could you please
correct my mdp file and write what extra term I should write in my mdp file
to get local pressure.
Thank you very much for your kind help.
