With what groups? Can there be any hydrogen bonds between those groups?

Is there a bug fixed in a version of g_hbond that isn't 2 years old? Did a
shorter trajectory work because it took less time? Does doing only one of
three analyses help things to work? You'd be much closer to a solution if
you'd tried some simplifications and done some detective work already ;-)

RDF of what, in vacuum? What groups did you use?

OK - but does your analysis make sense in vacuum?
