regarding compute style

But i downloaded and installed LAMMPS package on 10th sep-2013.

i cannot say anything else but that it works for me:

From the compute msd/nongauss doc page:

This compute is part of the MISC package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the Making LAMMPS section for more info.

Did you install the MISC package?
