Dear Gromacs developers:

I'm trying to run a QM-MM single point energy calculation on a
structure (a small molecule with 50 water molecules with no pbc, no
cutoff). I use orca for QM part amd gromacs for MM part. But when I
run mdrun -nt 1 -s sp.tpr -c sp.gro -g sp.log, the ORCA run quickly
and terminate naormally, but after that mdrun run stops with a
segmentation fault. Here is the error information:

Back Off! I just backed up sp.log to ./#sp.log.1#

Reading file sp.tpr, VERSION 4.5.5 (single precision)

QM/MM calculation requested.

there we go!

The *.ORCAINFO is:

And I also tried QMMMsheme=ONIOM, but I get the segmentation fault
too. Am I missing something in all of this?
 or the orca/gromcas can not be used  to non periodic system?
 Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
