Hello Josh,

It ended up working, I don't know exactly what I changed. But thanks for the help anyway.

Is there a newline at the end of the file? NAMD's parser is picky, and wants an empty line at the end of files it reads in.

I'm trying to use Extrabonds to keep 2 atoms close to each other, so I created a .exb file containing "bond 7 86 1 5" and wrote in the configuration file "

extraBonds on
extraBondsFile Extrabonds.exb". However, when I try to run it I get the following message:

"
Charm++ fatal error:
FATAL ERROR: ABNORMAL EOF FOUND - buffer=*bond 7 86 1 5*"

Where 7 and 86 are the atoms I want to keep at a distance of 5 A. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you in advance,
