Folks -- I cannot manage to get x2top to work on even the simplest example.
Here is "ethane.pdb", a PDB file for ethane (built using Avogadro, with the CONECT records stripped out):

I try to run the following command under GROMACS 4.0,

x2top -f ethane.pdb -o ethane.top

with the most recent version of the file ffoplsaa.n2t in its proper place (/usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/),
and I get the following output:

...

... and then the program hangs.

Can someone confirm that x2top actually works, and send a simple working example to me?


The 4.0.x versions of x2top do not work, as far as I know. The code is undergoing major changes. Version 3.3.3 should be operable, if memory serves.
