Hi,

I have the issue in the subject when running obenergy on a Gaussian log
file, using
obenergy -ff GAFF 123-trimethyl-imidazolium.log > log.out

When I instead use a sdf file there is no problem.

obenergy -ff GAFF 123-trimethyl-imidazolium.sdf > sdf.out

Both invocations return different atomtypes, correct for sdf and
incorrect for Gaussian file. As the message said, no aromatic ring is
detected:

Suggestions for debugging welcome.

Some more info: apparently OB needs to know *where* the charge is and
this information is not deduced from the Gaussian log file. There is no
M_CHG field generated, despite the total charge of the compound being
set in the src/gaussformat.cpp code.

Another clue: if the M_CHG field is present but points to the wrong
atom, OB cannot deduce the correct atom types and aromaticity either.
