Dear Jerome,           I had meant that it gives me the same error message as previous. It is - colvars:     Error: cannot add atoms to a dummy group. colvars:     If this error message is unclear, try recompiling with -DCOLVARS_DEBUG. FATAL ERROR: Error in the collective variables module: exiting.
