<div>> I am trying to use topolbuild to build *top file, but there is a fatal error report:</div>
<div>> -----------------------------------</div>
<div>> ./topolbuild -n lipid -dir /home/machine/TOM/Study/topbuild/topolbuild1_3/topolbuild1_3/dat/gromacs -ff oplsaa<br></div>
<div>> <b>Fatal error.<br></b>> <b>Source code file: readmol2.c, line: 347<br></b>> <b>Illegal characters for size information line in mol2 file.<br></b>> ------------------------------------</div><div> <br>The error is on the line that reads<br> 295 296<br><br>The error means that the line giving the number of atoms and number of bonds<br>contains characters that are not any of the digits 0123456789, spaces, tabs,<br>or the line feed that marks end of line. This typically happens when one<br>has produced a Microsoft Windows compatible file that terminates lines<br>with a carriage return and line feed or a Macintosh compatible file that<br>terminates lines with carriage return instead of line feed. Probably the file<br>was generated as Microsoft Windows compatible and you should run the<br>dos2unix script on the file before submitting it to topolbuild.<br><br>If this does not correct the problem, you
will need to view the file in a unix<br>text editor to see where the illegal characters are.<br><br><br><br></div><div>--</div><div>
