Anshul -
I have not replied since our last exchange for several reasons: 1) the fpe
problem is not interesting until all the other stuff is cleared up; it could
be due to an incorrect prmtop file generated by leap, 2) the info provided
is insufficient to judge why model building works on one system and not on
the other, but the fact that this is the case indicates there is a problem
with the amber installation on the alpha, or that the procedures used were
not truly identical. I don't have the model, the system that works, or the
one that doesn't. You need to step through the procedure of getting the
model constructed, and see where the first difference occurs. 3) If an fpe
problem remains, more info will be needed to debug it (like the location in
the code where the fpe occurred, and the data that caused the problem). It
is entirely possible that this all relates to real build problems on the
alpha, but if you get through all the test cases under the "test" directory,
that is a preliminary, but not definitive indication that everything is okay
(ie., there are many scenarios not covered by the test cases, and things can
happen in longer runs and at higher processor count that are not covered by
the test cases). Now, I do have more problems getting things to run on the
alpha's than anything else, so the compiler + chip seems in some ways
touchy. Also, I don't typically build the model building s/w (leap et al.)
on every machine, just on an sgi or linux single processor workstation I
have ready access to. SO if you want to get to the bottom of this, you are
going to have to produce some very specific information about what is
failing (ie., first I executed these commands on both of these systems, and
the output differs thusly - <data>). The data below is the same stuff we
got before; it may be a page of info, but it is nowhere near enough to
really solve the problem. I hope someone else who routinely builds
nonstandard models on the list will be able to jump on this when you reply;
that is not my usual activity.
Good luck - Bob
