[gmx-users] grompp: no such moleculetype

Hi Justin:
Back from the Austrian mountains, to further isolate problems I
encountered before with my protein, I have tried to reproduce - at the
lowest stage - the CG tutorial for ubiquitin which is provided on the
MARTINI web page. I encountered the same problem as with my protein.

I started from files provided in
/output.exercises/protein/protein_data/ubiquitin, i.e.:

martini_v2.1.itp
cg.gro
cg.itp
cg.top
protein-in-vacuum.mdp

I commented out all W in cg.top.

At the command

$ grompp -np 4 -f protein-in-vacuum.mdp -c cg.gro -p cg.top -o cg.tpr

Back Off! I just backed up mdout.mdp to ./#mdout.mdp.1#
checking input for internal consistency...

-------------------------------------------------------
Program grompp, VERSION 3.3.3
Source code file: ../../../../src/kernel/readir.c, line: 798

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.
=================

>From the name "protein-in-vacuum.mdp" I assume that there is no "HOH"
around in such file. Also, the tutorial was not for other non-protein.
I would be very grateful to the kind person who points out where I did
wrongly. Attached is also the mdout.mdp file.

thanks
