Hi,
Several bugs have been fixed in LEaP and they will be available in
Amber 8.
Here's bugfix 46:
Author: Scott Brozell
Date: 03/05/2004
Programs: LEaP
Description: tleap cause a segmentation fault when removing atoms;
xleap cause a segmentation fault when Erasing atoms in the
Unit Editor.
Fix: apply the following patch to amber7/src/leap/src/leap/atom.c
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** atom.c 28 Dec 2001 21:53:15 -0000 7.14
--- atom.c 6 Mar 2004 01:53:17 -0000

*** 908,913 ****
--- 908,914 ----
for ( i=0; i<iBonds; i++ ) {
aBond = aaBond[i];
VP1(( "Breaking bond: %s - %s\n",
+ sAtom1,
sContainerFullDescriptor( (CONTAINER)aBond, sAtom2 ) ));
AtomRemoveBond( aAtom, aBond );
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temporary workarounds: Delete all bonds to an atom before removing it.

If I remove all the relevant bonds ('deletebond') first, so that the atom is isolated, then the 'remove' command works. But identifying all the bonds correctly is a bit tedious, and not easily transferrable to other molecules, which was the point of using a script.
