Hello
  This is the very first time that i am using amber8, and got into trouble while trying to minimized my molecule.
  however got this error.
  Was wondering whether u could help me out
  

  NB pairs 7955 136753434 exceeds capacity ( 136754557) 0
       SIZE OF NONBOND LIST = 136754557
   SANDER BOMB in subroutine nonbond_list
   Non bond list overflow!
   check MAXPR in locmem.f

solvateoct m TIP3PBOX 12.0. And use an 8 or 9 angstrom cutoff, unless for
some reason you really need 10 (everybody I know, in worry mode, moves up to
9 from the default 8; really I don't think going above that matters that
much, given the range of things affecting ultimate accuracy). If you want
the bigger cutoff, increase the 12 even more, maybe 15. Boy, there has been
a rash of folks intent on building really small systems lately... Why set
yourself up for catastrophe? (you have to remember that the system is going
to shrink on you when you move to the NTP ensemble to get the density
right).
