so, in my continuing saga of not having ambpdb, i got all the
compilers/whatever set up on my powerbook g4 (same version, 10.3, of
macosx) and installed everything. leap failed to compile
spectacularly, though i haven't looked into why yet, but more
importantly, ambpdb compiled fine. running it got the same
segmentation fault, and going into gdb to figure out got me the same
error as i reported below. so, that's two machines doing the same
thing. has anyone been able to get the ambpdb from amber8 to run an a
mac? or is there another way to look at the .inpcrd's or .rst's? i
have tried vmd, but it always makes anything i try to look at prior to
running MD, regardless of the minimisation look ridiculous. should i
be able to do that? thanks,
