[gmx-users] Problem in the gromacs git version

Hi all,
i have downloaded and installed the latest gromacs git version with the
purpose of testing the charmm force field. I noticed that with pdb2gmx i
am able to construct the topology without problems and also to run the
simulation. Then when i look to the energy terms i notice that SR
interaction are 0 and this of course generate problems to the simulation
even if it does not crush. I also tried with the GROMOS96 43a1 force field
and it gives the same. I also tried to remove the protein and run only
water molecules and still SR are 0. I tried also to run the simulation of
spc216.gro water box, and it still gives the same.
Does any one of you faced with the same problem? If not, could some you
try the same test to see if you find the same? Could some of you
eventually propose a solution?
Thanks again,
Fabrizio
