Dear Sir,
I want to calculate local pressure of the membrane (pressure variation with z -axis). I am using gromacs-localp packages. As I see that all types of errors coming from saying specifically the option of WALL in .mdp file.
Actually I did not understand clearly what to do in the following options.

The simple answer to me is - why are you using walls? The gromacs-localp package is based on version 3.0.2, and IIRC walls were introduced much later in development, probably version 4.0. At least, there is no mention of walls in any documentation prior to the 4.0 manual.

WALLS
; Number of walls, type, atom types, densities and box-z scale factor for Ewald
nwall                    = 2
wall_type                = 9-3
wall_r_linpot            = -1
wall_atomtype            =
wall_density             =
wall_ewald_zfac          = 3

Could you please write clearly what to write on above options ??

I am writing here the mdp file what I am using in gromacs-localp package to calculate local pressure.
