Hi,

I'm trying to cluster 200 structure of a 20 aas peptide, by the g_cluster "diagonalization" method. There is my command line:

*********************
g_cluster -f all_1-200.pdb -s ../pdb/FinalGSAFold_1.pdb -clid -cl clusters.pdb -method diagonalization -o rmsd-clust.xpm -g cluster.log
*********************

I obtain these lines:

*********************
The RMSD ranges from -nan to -nan nm
Average RMSD is -nan
Number of structures for matrix 200
Energy of the matrix is -nan nm
*********************

If I run exactly the same job with changing for "gromos" method, I obtain:

*********************
The RMSD ranges from 0.26113 to 1.22787 nm
Average RMSD is 0.622773
Number of structures for matrix 200
Energy of the matrix is 41.58 nm
...etc
*********************

Are there some case in which the diagonalization method is not usable? What could be the reason of this fail?
I use VERSION 4.5.5.

Depending how GROMACS was configured, diagonalization may be using an external library that might not be (dynamically) linked correctly, leading to garbage results. Or your problem size is too large for your available memory (and you are somehow not segfaulting). Diagonalizing a 200 x 200 matrix is not huge, but might not be possible on small systems. I suggest trying a much smaller number of structures and gradually increasing it to see what happens - or trying on a computer with more memory. If everything fails, then the linking hypothesis might be the best lead.
