Let's please keep our replies on the list.
I thought that Giacomo and Jerome had updated Colvars to still maintain backwards compatibility with the tutorial's older syntax for defining a harmonic collective variable, but maybe I'm mistaken. (Hey, if either of you see this, maybe respond?)
At any rate, the issue is then not a bug in the code (it seems to be giving a correct error message) but instead a bug in the tutorial. For now, you can solve this one yourself by taking a look at the Colvars chapter in the NAMD user guide to find out how to correctly define a "harmonicwalls" collective variable and then fixing the config file.
You'd be doing everyone involved a favor if you reply to namd-l with the fixed syntax.
Thanks.
