Naresh,

In the future, if someone asks you to post the whole error message it
is often useful to post all the lines that contain "ERROR". If you
read the log file you will see:
ERROR: 'exclude' is a required configuration option
ERROR: exclude defines: Electrostatic and VDW exclusion policy
ERROR: The following variables were set in the
ERROR: configuration file but are NOT VALID
ERROR: if{0}

I.e. you have 2 errors: exclude needs to be defined, and if{0} needs
to be correct tcl syntax. Change "if{0}" to "if {0}" and add "exclude
none" to the config file.

Cheers,
Johan
