I've gone ahead and changed the subject line to potentially attract the attention of others who might help.

Dear All,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.  I downloaded and installed the new
version of Gromacs, and compiled it fine, and recompiled just mdrun_mpi....

The problem I now encounter.  U was using 53a6 FF, which worked in the past,
although I am partial to all atoms.  In Pro residues, the topolog output from
grompp lables three of the CH2 in the ring as CH2r.  When I then do an EM or
MD, gromacs complains that it can not find atom type CH2r.  I looked through
all the .itp, .rtp and amino acid definitions, and CH2r is there.  If I
re-lable the topology and .gro file by hand to CHR1 the system works, but the
overall geometry is slightly off (if you look at the atom definitions and
take into account that prolines are not completly aeromatic, only
partially...


Well, proline isn't aromatic at all, but CHR1 will try to force the atoms to be planar. None of this should be necessary (nor is it right to do).

In any case, is this a bug or is there some other problem I missed?  I did
look at the input .pdb file, and the same nomenclature I used before with the
same ff now does not work?


All signs point to the fact that processing of proline should work out of the box, so to speak. The CH2r atom type is properly defined in all the relevant files. Can you post a bit more detail, like the exact error message, snippet from the topology, etc? I haven't had any problem with proline-containing proteins with 53a6 in the newest version.
