Hi John,

 

I assume all of the test cases passed in serial and parallel.

 

If you look closely at your calculation output you will see that the angle
term is infinite and your vdwaals term is very high. This suggests that you
have a very strained initial structure. It is strange for the angle term to
be infinite (or very large), normally it is bond terms that end up very high
or the EEL/VDW terms.

 

I would suggest visually looking at your starting structure to see if you
can see what is wrong with - I would focus on atom HE1 (4173) which has the
highest force on it.

 

All the best

Ross

Subject: AMBER: forrtl severe(174) error with minimization and md

 

Dear all,
 

I have compile the AMBER10 and AmberTools1.0 on IBM PC with Intel Pentium 4
processor using RedHat EL4 linux, AMBER was compiled with inter fortran
compiler. All the test have passed during the installation.
And I am trying to run molecular dynamics of ligand docked into the protein.
I have prepared the *.top and *.crd files. However, whaen I run the sander
it stops abruptly with the following error (for minimisation & molecular
dynamics both ).

forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred

My input file is

m8-minisation

&cntrl

imin=1, maxcyc =500,

ncyc = 250, ntb = 0, ntpr =1,

igb = 0, cut = 12,

/

The output file shows following lines

I had tried different value of cutoff and ntpr, but all gave the same
result. I cannot understand what the problem is. Please suggest me some
solution to this problem

thanks in advance
