[gmx-users] equilibration + Segmentation fault

I am using the opls parameters from Lope's paper.
In vaccum energy minimzatin is working well. MD is not at all working.

My other systems are running well. In the present system I changed the
anion, cation parameters are fine.
 Is the problem with anion parameters?
