[gmx-users] missing gbsa parameters

Have a look at http://code.google.com/p/acpype/wiki/TutorialAcpype4Gromacs

There there's a note:

*NB(1):* #include "Ligand.itp" has to be inserted right after
ffamber**.itp line
and before Protein_*.itp line in *Complex.top*.

Are you inserting your gbsa.itp in the *right* place of your top file?
