Hi there,

I am using GROMACS4.5.4 and the GROMOS 53A6 united-atom force field to do MD 
with my protein-ligand system.

I was trying to add aliphatic hydrogens to the .gro and .trr or .xtc trajectory 
file with g_protonate, but the Fatal error was:

Library file in current dir nor  not found ffgmx2in defalt directories.

Then re-name the directory in ../share/top/gmx2.ff to ffgmx2, and this time 
g_protonate seems to be able to find those .hdb files. But another error 
follows as:

Reading frames from gro file 'Protein in water', 66743 atoms.
Reading frame   0 time0.000   Opening force field file 
ffgmx2/aminoacids.hdb
Opening force field file ffgmx2/atomtypes.atp
Atomtype 1
Opening force field file ffgmx2/aminoacids.n.tdb
Opening force field file ffgmx2/aminoacids.c.tdb
Segmentation fault


I searched for 'Segmentation fault', nothing relevant to g_protonate came up.



A segmentation fault is a generic memory error that can be produced by any 
program.


So I wonder if anyone could kindly help me out? Or is there an easy alternative 
way to protonate the trajectory file?



The g_protonate program is currently nonfunctional.  I have made a small fix in 
the release-4-5-patches branch, but the result is that the program can only 
handle .pdb files and nothing else.


There is an outstanding issue that awaits a real resolution:

http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/589

In the meantime, I guess the only workaround is to generate .pdb files of each 
of your trajectory frames, then re-concatenate them as a new .xtc file.  That 
would be somewhat tedious, but should work.
