type "which cpp" to know the location of cpp.

Another source of error could be your mdp file which is now in Windows' format, using /r/n for a new line while Unix uses only /n. Please use tools like dos2unix (a package shall be also available from cygwin) to convert your mdp file.

Thanks for the reply,
     I have tried changing the mdp file so it looks for the cpp in /lib/cpp,
/lib/cpp.exe, /bin/cpp, and /bin/cpp.exe and all of these produce the same
message as below, that the cpp file does not exist.  It had worked when I ran
a simulation before with the mdp file as /lib/cpp, but I am not sure why it
is not working now.  Should I just try to reinstall Gromacs?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
     I just installed Gromacs on my windows machine under cygwin, and
everything seemed to go fine with the installation and whatnot.
Initially,
when I tried to run a simulation, I obtained the error that Gromacs found
the
number of coordinates in my .top file to be 0, because it could not find
the
cpp.  From the mailing list archives, I gathered that Gromacs was
checking
for cpp in /lib/cpp whereas in cygwin the cpp is in /bin/cpp.  So, as in
the
post, I created a link in /lib pointing to /bin/cpp.  I ran a simulation,
and
everything went fine.  Now, I am trying to run another simulation, and I
am
running into the same problem as before.  When I execute grompp, I get
this
error:
Back Off! I just backed up md_shear_run.mdp to ./#md_shear_run.mdp.2#
checking input for internal consistency...
...ling /lib/cpp
: No such file or directory
cpp exit code: 32512
replace /lib/cpp with /bin/cpp (with or without .exe) in the mdp file
