I’m glad you found a solution. I just confirmed it works on linux and mac both for me. Sorry that it took so long to sort out.

I’m committing the change to the VMD CVS so that it will appear in future versions.

Best,
JC

I finally tracked it down to the fact that this version uses the line “Z-Matrix found in file.”, which is not in any gaussian log we’ve seen before. I’m still shocked that they keep changing minor things like this between revisions.

We have looked into older posts to this mailing list and saw that others have had a similar problem with VMD not being able to parse the coordinate data efficiently. I have included the VMD output error and our output file from Gaussian. Please let me know if you need any other input files.
