[gmx-users] Invalid order for directive atomtypes

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Jonathan,

The itp's for the ligands were given atomtype sections, but atomtypes (and
other *types) may only be defined before any moleculetype definition (check
chapter 5 of the manual for the topology format). You'll need to remove
anything before the moleculetype directive from the itp files and make sure
that all the atomtypes (and other *types) referred to are correct according
to the listing in the force field.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
