[gmx-users] mdrun on GROMACS 3.3.1

Well I'm keeping struggling with this script. Apparently the problem in in
using the integrator md with the GOMACS 3.3.1 version. In fact the same
.mdp file with integrator steep works. while with md it always gives the
error message that it cannot open the .xtc file.
How can I get around this problem?
I can only see two ways now:
-either there is a way to use md with GROMACS 3.3.1
-or there is a way so that the mdrun of a newer version of GROMACS can deal
with the file. If I try, even specifying the path for each .itp file, then
the program cannot find certain atomtypes, such as
Atomtype CH2R not found
any suggestions here?
Thanks
Francesca
