Hi Pankhuri,

This is not the correct way to use cpinutil (which is a python script now).
Now, use it as the following:

cpinutil -p <prmtop> -igb 2 -notresname TYR, LYS > cpin

See if you still get this warning. If you do, I think it's because sleap
doesn't actually set the pbradii set properly. If this is the case, I can
attach a script that will alter the radii sets for you to match what it
should be. You NEED the mbondi2 radii (since that's how the reference
compounds were parametrized), but I don't think sleap prints them out
correctly yet.

HTH,
Jason
