Dear Neelanjana,
 
Do you have gromacs installed on this machine? I suspect your paths are set
in such a way that you are not running what you think you are running.
 
Try
 
which protonate
 
which PROTON_INFO
 
If you try the following it will likely work:
 
$AMBERHOME/exe/protonate -d $AMBERHOME/dat/PROTON_INFO <peptide.pdb >
peptide2.pdb
 
Also take a look at peptide.pdb and see if it looks to be a valid pdb file -
I.e. one that adheres to the PDB standard.
 
All the best
Ross

Subject: AMBER: Error in protonating

Dear Amber users,

In protonating a peptide (coordinates available in pdb format), I use the
foll. command:

protonate -d PROTON_INFO < peptide.pdb > peptide2.pdb

and, I get the foll. error:

:-) G R O M A C S (-:
Segmentation fault

The peptide2.pdb does get created, but is a blank file. Could someone point
out what's missing here? I am using amber7.

Thanks,
