    Either of these are possible.  Have you tried (1) different

What about those files evisco.xvg, eviscoi.xvg and visco.xvg? which one could be the correct file to look at?

Look into the source to see how each is calculated; evisco.xvg and eviscoi.xvg are related to the Einstein relation (function einstein_visco in src/tools/gmx_energy.c), presumably visco.xvg (function analyse_ener) is from Green-Kubo, but do check yourself.

I'm using OPLS-AA force field, the density and enthalpy of evaporation are both reasonably reproduced. However, kinetic studies using OPLS-AA on ionic liquid seems scarce(or I know little enough to not aware of what has been done).

Then you may want to do a bit more homework on your potential model. I don't do ionic liquid simulations, but I certainly know there are plenty of published papers out there.

    This could be related to a bug that was fixed just a few days ago.
     Try pulling
the latest stable release from git and trying again.
That sounds like a solution, can you provide a link?

Pull the stable version.
