My best guess is that you might still be running xleap from an earlier
version of amber. Is that possible? Be sure that your AMBERHOME variable
is set correctly.
In addition, be careful with a multiple-residue mol2 file; the loadMol2
command was primarily written to read single residue files (say as output from
antechamber). The recommended way to get DNA coordinates into LEaP is to use
loadPdb. We will be working in the future to make the loadMol2 command better
for more than just single residues.
....good luck...dac
