Hi Ethan,
Looks like you still have VMD 1.9.3, without the fix for the typo in the
tcl source:
https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/28199.html
Now, the new error is because grompp is trying to read a box dimension from
the input pdb file. Sometimes this works, if the box information is on the
first line of the file, but oftentimes its not, and I'm betting that is
what is going wrong here. Then you'd need to use gmx editconf to add box
information to the structure that grompp gets. It'd be something like:
gmx editconf -f input.pdb -o output.gro -box 4.0 4.0 4.0
Assuming a 40 Angstrom box edge length (Gromacs uses nm). Then you'd feed
grompp output.gro instead of the pdb without box information.
