Dear Gromacs users,

                               I am planing  to use buckingham potential
for the non-bonded interactions  of my system. I know that by changing the
nbfunc to 2 in [ defaults ] directive of topology will allow to use the
Buckingham potential , But I don't know how to specify the  A, B,C values
in the ffnonbonded.itp file.
 what values should I specify in the  [ atomtypes ]  directive . As i know
only A,B,C values for the pairs of atoms  so i have tried by  specifying
A,B,C values both in  [ atomtypes ] and  [ pairtypes ] as

[ atomtypes ]
;name   at.num     mass          charge    ptype
A                      B                      C

;########### I have given the A(in KJ/mol), B(in nm^-1), C(in Kj/mol*nm^6)
;D = A, B = 1/P, C = E


Doing so , grompp is showing the following errors

   ERROR 5 [file ffnonbondedpeo.itp, line 13]:
  Too many parameters or not enough parameters for topology B


ERROR 6 [file ffnonbondedpeo.itp, line 14]:
  Too many parameters or not enough parameters for topology B

Generated 6 of the 6 non-bonded parameter combinations
Excluding 3 bonded neighbours molecule type 'polymer'

ERROR 7 [file topol.top, line 1652]:
  ERROR: The cut-off length is longer than half the shortest box vector or
  longer than the smallest box diagonal element. Increase the box size or
  decrease rlist.

Program grompp, VERSION 4.5.5
Source code file: grompp.c, line: 1372

Any help will be highly appreciated.
