Grompp works fine when the steep or cg is used as integrator in mdp file (even the mdrun also works afterward), but it would fail by switching only the integrator to md or sd, giving the below segmentation fault:

The GROMACS has been compiled in a cray machine using intel.
As I understand you only changed the integrator field in the .mdp file? This should work smoothly and I would suspect that something else must have changed here.
Do you get any more output from your system to the command line?
Did you maybe try to run grompp in an mpi process?
Thanks for the response.
Yes, the only change was the integrator for sure.
And that was the whole output printed out in terminal after invoking the aprun -n 1 gmx_mpi grompp … .
Again, the "aprun -n 1 gmx_mpi grompp … " works with integrator = steep or cg. But not with the integrator = md or sd.
