Thanks for the reply, but i am a little unsure why the number of "atoms/coordinates" do not match. My eigenvec.trr has 1401 atoms (this was created using the same default index file to select the backbone) and it should match what is in my index file (or tpr).

If i look at the index group listing (see below please) the backbone is listed with 1401 elements not the reported 1403 in the error message (see below), this is why i am confused.

Ill look into the g_anaeig program though, thanks for the suggestion.

Users,
I am having a problem when trying to convert a .trr to a .pdb using trjconv. I think there could there be a bug in the program and the index group is getting confused. Here is exactly what i am doing:
Command:
     trjconv -f eigenvec.trr -s prot_md.gro -o test.pdb
Output:
Will write pdb: Protein data bank file
Select group for output
Opening library file /usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/aminoacids.dat
Group     0 (      System) has 68361 elements
Group     1 (     Protein) has  7588 elements
Group     2 (   Protein-H) has  3780 elements
Group     3 (     C-alpha) has   467 elements
Group     4 (    Backbone) has  1401 elements
Group     5 (   MainChain) has  1867 elements
Group     6 (MainChain+Cb) has  2307 elements
Group     7 ( MainChain+H) has  2305 elements
Group     8 (   SideChain) has  5283 elements
Group     9 ( SideChain-H) has  1913 elements
Group    10 ( Prot-Masses) has  7588 elements
Group    11 ( Non-Protein) has 60773 elements
Group    12 (         FLP) has    30 elements
Group    13 (         SOL) has 60741 elements
Group    14 (          Cl) has     2 elements
Group    15 (       Other) has 60773 elements
Select a group: 4
Selected 4: 'Backbone'
trn version: GMX_trn_file (single precision)

Back Off! I just backed up test.pdb to ./#test.pdb.1#

-------------------------------------------------------
Program trjconv, VERSION 3.3.2
Source code file: gmx_trjconv.c, line: 994

Fatal error:
Index[267] 1403 is larger than the number of atoms in the trajectory file (1401)
-------------------------------------------------------

I have been able to get around this problem (really only a work around this bug). Here is what i have done:
    editconf -f prot_md.gro -o eigenvec_base.gro -n index.ndx
output only the Backbone atoms, and then run trjconv with the output from editconf as the template file (-s file). This then will translate the .trr file to a .pdb.

Has anyone else seen this, or have any ideas???
Thanks!
This is the normal behavior. Your eigenvec was made based on backbone and therefore has 1401 "coordinates", however in your index file (or tpr) there are more atoms, and hence the index for backbone atoms is larger than 1401. Your workaround will create a gro/pdb file, but since the eigenvectors are sorted this will not give you normal coordinates. You may want to study the options built into the g_anaeig program.
