Hi,
    I encountered the following remarks during normal mode analysis of pure
water. Can someone please suggest a solution.
 mdrun_d -v -s water.tpr -o traj.trr -c confout.gro -e ener.edr -g md.log
-mtx nm.mtx

648 steps.

Maximum force: 2.74758e+03
Maximum force probably not small enough to ensure that you are in an
energy well. Be aware that negative eigenvalues may occur when the
resulting matrix is diagonalized.

Diagonalizing to find vectors 1 through 50...

One of the lowest 6 eigenvalues has a non-zero value.
This could mean that the reference structure was not
properly energy minimized.
Writing eigenvalues...
Writing eigenfrequencies - negative eigenvalues will be set to zero.

The eigenfreq is 0 which is the problem
