Just a very silly question: having a pdb file, why don you use pdb2gmx instead. It will give you a topology file and you can select any force field, not only those accepted in x2top.

In the x2top man page there is a Known Problem with ffG43a1.n2t.

Once again, maybe this is silly, but I think it will give you what you need.

Dear Users

I tried to use the x2top function of gromacs 4 on a sugar-molecule. But the gromacs says that it requests the ffgmx.n2t library which can not be found in the default directory. I searched in the whole system but could not find it. Therefore I also searched on an other system with gromacs 3.3 and copied the file form there to the system with gromacs 4. Unfortunately it comes up with the next request as below:
-------------------------------------------------------
Program x2top, VERSION 4.0
Source code file: futil.c, line: 527

Fatal error:
Library file ffG43a1.n2t not found in current dir nor in default directories.
(You can set the directories to search with the GMXLIB path variable)
-------------------------------------------------------
But I could not find this file neigther on the gromacs 4 nor on the gromacs 3.3 system ...

Where can I get all those n2t files from? Or am I doing something wrong? My command is simply:
x2top -f sed.pdb -o sed.top -ff select
with forcefield 0:GROMOS96 43a1 force field
if i use 5: OPLS-AA/L it writes
"Generating bonds from distances...
atom 0" to the command line and gets stuck

where sed.pdb contains only

Is this a problem of gromacs or am I really missing libraries or is the input somehow bad?


sincerely
Bernhard
