Hi Wholly,

It would be better to install a more recent version of gromacs. The
tutorial should state which version it is written for.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Dear All,

I am running the on-line tutorial
http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/lysozyme/06_equil.html
.

By "grompp -f nvt.mdp -c em.gro -p topol.top -o nvt.tpr", with the nvt.mdp
downloaded as attached following, I got the following error message:

"

 For energy conservation with LINCS, lincs_iter should be 2 or larger.
 You can safely ignore this if your system doesn't have any
 LINCS-constrained bonds;
 for water molecules we normally use the analytical SETTLE algorithm
 instead.

I am looking forward to getting a message on what is the problem.

Cheers,
Wholly
