[gmx-users] Analysis of old xtc file using gromacs-5 tools

Wed Sep 30 17:58:44 CEST 2015

Hi,

This sounds like the build system is not compiling Gromacs with 64-bit file
support like it should. Can you access the same file on the same system
with earlier Gromacs versions? Can you access smaller files with 5.1?

Could you file a bug report at redmine.gromacs.org, and include at least
the following:
* information on your operating system
* contents of CMakeCache.txt, src/config.h, and src/gmxpre-config.h from
your build tree
* how you invoked cmake to configure the build.
