[gmx-users] Cannot obtain center-of-mass radial distribution using Gromacs 2016.1

[Boning Wu]

Dear Gromacs Users,

I am running gromacs 2016.1 on a server. After the simulation, I want to
obtain the center of mass rdf using the following command:

gmx_mpi rdf -f prod.xtc -s prod.tpr -o rdf.xvg -com -rdf mol_com

However I got an error:

Program:     gmx rdf, version 2016.1
Source file: src/gromacs/commandline/cmdlineparser.cpp (line 235)
Function:    void gmx::CommandLineParser::parse(int *, char **)

Error in user input:
Invalid command-line options
    Unknown command-line option -com
    Unknown command-line option -rdf


I used to this command in previous versions like 4.5.5 or 5.0.4, but there
is no problem. I also tried to remove -com and -rdf flag in the command,
and than the program can calculate rdf ...

Can anyone tell me what happened? And how could I obtain center of mass rdf?

gmx_mpi version gives following information:
