This won't work, for at least two reasons:

1. The only implicit solvent model that has second derivatives (needed
for nmode()) is igb=1.

2. The xmin minimizer has strong assumptions about the accuracy of the forces;
numerical procdures like PB or RISM don't satisfy these conditions. So you
would not likely be able to do a full minimization anyway.

Finally, your particular allocation error suggests that you are asking for
more memory than you have available. You don't give enough details about
"changing the spacing parameters" to be very helpful (at least to me).
