I am using gromos force field fotr my work and This force field's
files come filled
 with LJ  functions and now if i want to work with buckingham
potential i changed in
default section of force field ffG34a21.itp file but it gives me the
follwing errors

ERROR 77 [file ffgmxnb.itp, line 144]:
  Trying to add LJ (SR) while the default nonbond type is Buck.ham (SR)

any help appreciated.
