Hi Justin,
I tried the "mixed" example today and when I ran grompp -v I got the following error:

Fatal error:
Topology include file "methanol.itp" not found

Could you help me with that?

As I said before, the demo is very outdated. I will file a redmine issue so this gets updated eventually.

There is no "methanol.itp" file in the "mixed" directory. Either copy the one from the "methanol" example there, or supply an appropriate "include" path in grompp.mdp.

You would probably learn quite a bit more about Gromacs (including how to deal with common errors like this one) from doing some real tutorials:

Thank you very much.

        Hi All,

        I ran into a problem when running the methanol example in
        "Getting Started". When I ran "grompp -v", I got the following:
           Fatal error:
         Atomtype CMET not found

        I installed Gromacs 4.5.3 on Ubuntu and planned to learn the
        software. Now I am stuck. Many thanks for your help! I really
        appreciate it.


    There is a typo in the methanol.itp file in the /tutor/methanol
    subdirectory. Replace it with the one from the gromos43a1.ff
    directory.  There may be more errors along the way; I don't think
    the demo has been updated in some time.

               Hi All,
               I am a new user of Gromacs and Linux. I am using Ubuntu 10.10
               and installed Gromacs 4.5.3 following the instructions.
        When I
               ran the demo, I found that when I pressed <enter>, the xterm
               window which is supposed to appear separately just
        flashed and
               disappeared immediately. For instance, "the output of the
        genbox
               program should appear in a separate xterm window", but when I
               pressed <enter> the window flashed and disappeared
        immediately.
               Is there anything wrong that I need to fix or is that the
        way it
               should be?


           It is possible that something is wrong with the demo, but more
           likely something is wrong with your X window settings.  If you're
           looking for tutorial material, there are far better resources
        than
           this simple walkthrough:
