[gmx-users] mac OS Catalina segmentation fault

[Paul bauer]

Hello,

could you try running first with an unmodified version of GROMACS, so we 
can check if the PLUMED modifications are responsible for the crashes 
(unlikely for the tools, but we need to make sure)?
If the vanilla versions are still crashing, can you supply us with some 
log files and input files/run scripts for the failures and open a new 
issue on redmine.gromacs.org?

Also, can you share the full CMakeConfig file?

Cheers

Paul
