Description
I was converting trajectories generated with gmx2019.1 for visualisation purposes and accidentally used gmx2016.3. To my surprise, several steps of the conversion chain worked just fine, whereas some choked with error messages such as:
Back Off! I just backed up mol.xtc to ./#mol.xtc.1#
-> frame 0 time 0.000
-------------------------------------------------------
Program: gmx trjconv, version 2016.3
Source file: src/gromacs/pbcutil/pbc.cpp (line 94)
Fatal error:
Unknown ePBC=1051770189 in ePBC2npbcdim
The version checking clearly isn't working in this case. In the end I also got some distorted structures, but I haven't made a complete analysis of the conditions under which they appear since they might be due to upstream issues.
Command line:
echo 24 | gmx trjconv -f trans.xtc -s run.tpr -n ../SR1_dimer.ndx -o mol.xtc -pbc mol
