I have now used protein-in-vacuum.mdp from the ubiquitin cg tutorial.
Again grompp complains that "Fatal error:
Group Non-Protein not found in indexfile. Maybe you have non-default
goups in your mdp file, while not using the '-n' option of grompp. In
that case use the '-n' option." (no more complaining about DPPC, now
more generic non-protein, which increases the confusion)

Having ruled out the .mdp file as responsible for that, it was easy to
check that both the protein.gro and the protein.itp files only specify
standard amino acids.

I'll settle the matter until I can generate ideas, or be less tired to
check again for the presence of that mysterious non-protein. The real
protein contains chloride ion ligands. I have cleared from them before
starting with CG and anyway no trace of cl CL Cl.

Hope to be able to come again here with a solution of this affair.

thanks
francesco
PS: the protein CG file contains TER lines separating the subunits,
but the CG .gro file has no TER.
