Hello Takeru, it looks like you already found the documentation, try to
double-check that your configuration is consistent. See here an example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Colvars/colvars/master/tests/spinangle.in

If it is consistent with the doc, do you mind pasting it in the email or
attaching it?
