Hi Francesco,
this sounds like it may be the same bug with chain splitting that Luis
Agullo encountered last week. Could you try following the solution at
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/14725.html
You need to download the referenced tcl file and then, in a new vmd
session, type
source autopsf.tcl
(pointing to that version of autopsf) prior to using autopsf or cgtools.
Please let me know if you still have trouble.
Best,
Peter
