Hi

what is exactly your problem?

How to calculate a pair correaltion function is described
in detail in the books of
Allen and Tildesley, Computer Simulations of Liquids, Clarendon Press
Frenkel and Smit, Understanding molecular Simulation, Academic Press

There you can even find simple Fortran codes.
Usually, only the most simple case is given (mono-atomic liquids)
and programs have to be adopted for each special case
(multiple atom types etc.).

If your problem is realted to the format of the
CPMD TRAJECTORY file, here is a pseudo-code that reads
a TRAJECTORY file

  do iframe=1,nframe
    do iat=1,natoms
      read(TRAJECTORY,*) id,c(1,iat),c(2,iat),c(3,iat)
    enddo
  enddo

regards
