I had the same problem just yesterday, in fact. I solved it by checking
the .respin1 file. I had made the mistake of over-defining my groups in
the supplementary resp file (your eda_v.in). I had put _every atom in a
charge group, and it didn't like that - it wanted at least some atoms to
fall outside a charge group.
So you may want to check your .respin1 file, in case it's doing things
you don't expect. If you're still fighting with it, it may be worth
including that file as an attachment here on the list (as well as the
eda_v.in and eda_v_esp.ac).
Regards,
Ben
