Have you run the test suite? You should to ensure things are running
correctly.

You don't specify any details about your machine. Is it a dual processor
machine? I suspect that it is and that top if just reporting that your
machine is using 1 cpu. Some operating systems report this as 100% per cpu -
so a dual cpu job on a dual cpu machine would use 200% cpu and a single cpu
job 100%. Other operating systems, however, report it as a total
utilisation. Thus a dual cpu job on a dual cpu machine would be 100%
utilisation. A single cpu job (as you have compiled amber for here) would
use only one of the cpu's and so "half" of the total cpu "power" and thus
would be reported as 50% cpu usage. Hence what you are seeing above -
perfectly normal behaviour. If your machine is NOT dual cpu then you have a
problem (or you are running more than one job) but I suspect that it has 2
cpus. Try running two minimisations simultaneously - it should then report
100% cpu usage (one job on each cpu).

I suspect your link line above was incorrect. Check that
$AMBEROME/src/MACHINE points to the file you expect - try vi
$AMBERHOME/src/MACHINE. I don't have a copy of amber 6 installed so I can't
take a look to see if the Machine file you specify is the correct one so you
need to verify this as well.

If vi $AMBEROME/src/MACHINE brings up the machine file as you expect then
please email me back. I suspect however that your link is invalid.
Especially as you specify in the beginning of your email that you did:

> - i do "export AMBERHOME=/usr/local/amber/amber6

NOTE THE /amber/amber6 whereas the ERROR message above states
ERROR:/usr/local/amber6/amber6/src/MACHINE-NOT-A-FILE:

NOTE the /amber6/amber6

Did you mistype the path?

Try again from a fresh copy of amber 6 and go through the process slowly
checking that you are entering the correct paths / valid links etc.

All the best
Ross
