Dear Prof. Case.
I am trying to model an octahedral zinc coordination model - with four
water occupying the coordination cites modeled as in the 'bonded' model and
the rest two cites as dummy atoms available for ligands as in the cationic
dummy atom (CADA)model.
I defined oxygens (DO), hydrogens(DH), dummy atoms(DZ) and the central
zinc(ZO) as new atoms in xleap and created lib files. The frcmod files
created with TIP3P parameters for water and CADA parameters for Zinc and
dummies
The error is:

Welcome to LEaP!

Sourcing: ./leap1.in
Loading library: ./zob.lib
Loading parameters: ./frcmod.zob

       This error may be due to faulty Connection atoms.
