Thanks for your help Tom.
I've managed to get it working most simply by just going back to the=
original leap.in file that I used to build the solvated system, and=
removing the ligand from there before writing a new prmtop file.
To do this I had to delete first the atoms of the ligand (residue SG)
remove complex complex.SG.34
......
remove complex complex.SG.108
then the residue itself
remove complex complex.SG
Leap (both xleap and tleap) were seg faulting if I attempted just one of=
the above two steps.
I'm only posting this in case anyone wants to do the same as me in future,=
or if any developers are curious about leap bugs.
