Hi Tsjerk,
Thank you for your quick and helpful response. I defined "xtc_grps = TDR" in my .mdp file (then I use grompp -f mdpme.mdp -c confout.gro -p topol.top -o topol.tpr -np 8 -n index.ndx, index contains TDR and SOL) and run it with -np 8. I'm afraid that I don't understand what "shuffling" or "matching series" refers to (a clue that I'm doing something wrong). This g_covar error message is probably another clue:

WARNING: number of atoms in tpx (29) and trajectory (29) do not match
-------------------------------------------------------
Program g_covar, VERSION 3.3.3
Source code file: nrjac.c, line: 129
Fatal error:
Error: Too many iterations in routine JACOBI

So the # of atoms is the same, but some other key ingredient doesn't match. Can you please enlighten me?!

I think the output error message is bizarre, but you still have a number of atoms in the .tpr that does not match the .xtc. If your simulation is of TDR and SOL, then those groups will be in your topol.tpr. If your xtc-grps specify only TDR, then there will be a coordinate mismatch. Run the following:

gmxcheck -c topol.tpr
gmxcheck -f traj.xtc

and see if gmxcheck reports the same number of atoms in both files. This is the quickest way to know for sure.

Thanks a lot,
Dayle

    Hi Dayle,

    Errm, really, the only cases I know of this error to occur is when I
    had a mismatch between the reference and trajectory. Did you specify
    xtc-groups? Did you shuffle the system? How did you assert that you
    have matching series? Have you tried using the reference and the
    trajectory to convert (part of) the trajectory to .pdb and visualize?
    If all else fails, can you send (a link to) an archive containing a
    single frame from the trajectory and the reference?

    Cheers,

    Tsjerk
