Please send an example pdb file that fails. You might look at the pdb
files in the subdirectories under $AMBERHOME/test/antechamber, to see if you
can spot any way in which your pdb files are different from those there.
(I'm assuming that you have run the antechamber tests, and they work OK).
The names of the atoms are not supposed to make any difference, so some other
problem must be occurring.
...good luck...dac
