Hi Victor,
 
It is best if such questions go to the amber mailing list so that others can
benefit from the answers and so any answers get archived to http://amber.ch.
ic.ac.uk/archive/ so I am copying this reply here.
 
The issue is one of whether the process_mdout.pl file is in a directory in
your path. I assume you have downloaded the perl script, if not you can get
it here:
http://amber.scripps.edu/tutorials/basic/tutorial1/files/process_mdout.perl.

As of amber9 this script is included in the tools directory.
 
I typically place this in /usr/local/bin which is in my path so simply
specifying the file will work.
 
However, if you place it in a directory that is not specified in your path
(and you don't have "./" in your path then you need to execute it with)
 
./process_mdout.pl blah1 blah2 blah3
 
or specify the full path to the file if it is in a different directory to
the one you are currently in.
 
E.g.
 
/home/user_dir/process_mdout.pl blah1 blah2 blah3...
 
It is possible that you receive the error:
 
Permission denied. In this case you have to tell the operating system that
the file is executable which you can do with:
 
chmod +x process_mdout.pl (assuming you own the file).
 
I hope this helps
All the best
Ross

Hi, dear Prof. Ross Walker,
I have made sofar (Amber 8.0) to the bottom of Page 5 von 13 of your
Tutorial B1 - Section 3.
mkdir polyAT_vac_md1_12Acut
cd polyAT_vac_md1_12Acut
process_mdout.perl ../polyAT_vac_md1_12Acut.out
 
But:
bash: process_mdout: command not found
 
why?
 
The reason may be:
"process_mdout.perl" is a text file, not an execution file.
 
Thank you very much!
 
Victor
