It should be calling "gmx grompp", did you set to grompp manually in your settings file?

Ok, can you post your inverse.log and the csg_defaults.xml from your
installation?

Thanks,

Christoph

Hi Christoph,
Attached are the files-inverse.log and csg_defaults.xml. I noticed that csg_defaults did not exist under xml folder. So I just copied the one I am sharing with you. Thank you.

Best,

Avinesh

Your log file says:
-------------------------------
Incomplete step 1
WARNING: options file ('/my_files/ibi_gromacs-multi/settings.xml') was changed since the last execution, these changes will have no effect already finished parts of the iteration, to take effect remove the current iteration ('step_001')

So I would remove step_001 and try again.

Also for the “multi”plexed example (ibi_gromacs-multi) you will need an mpi parallel version of gromacs.

can you call csg_inverse with the extra option “clean”, then start over and see if it still fails. If so post your new inverse.log

Your log file indicates you are using votca 1.2.4 which is rather old.

Can you confirm by running “csg_inverse --version”?

Yes, I checked csg_property and it shows version 1.2.4 (Compiled Jan 3 2016). 
Just to let you know, when I run "csg_inverse --version", it outputs an error saying unknown option '--version'. 
Is it the version issue? I can install a new one if thats the case. Thank you.

Best,
Avinesh

yes, votca v1.2.4 was released more than 10 years ago, we cannot support a version that old anymore, so please update.
