i am using amber7 ,working on the haloperoxidase with a Vanadium in its active site. when doing LEap, after the topology file was saved the program ended with ' Segmentaion fault (core dumped) '.
the lines at the end of the leap.log file are below:
    Building topology.
    Building atom parameters.
    Building bond parameters.
    Building angle parameters.
    Building proper torsion parameters.
    Building improper torsion parameters.
     total 1907 improper torsions applied
    Building H-Bond parameters.
    Marking per-residue atom chain types.
      (Residues lacking connect0/connect1 -
       these don't have chain types marked:

            res total affected

            CMET 1
            NSER 1
            VO4 1
            WAT 20614
      )
     (no restraints)
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
since the amber default force field doesn't have the parameters for Vanadium.i formed my own frcmod.pcy file and use the commmand 'addAtomTypes { { "V" "V" "sp3" } } '. it seems V can not be recognized as an element name, ' atom type V - unknown element V' was printed in the leap.log file.
the frcmod.pcy file are:

what can i do to get rid of the segmentation fault and let the amber accept vanadium?

cheers
