Dear Kara,
You are not the first person to come across this problem. See:
http://amber.ch.ic.ac.uk/archive/200411/
I think I took a look at the ambpdb code sometime in November and fixed a
load stuff since the amber9 development version differs from the amber8
version and has several comments in there regarding fixing segmentation
faults. However, it seems I never fixed the amber8 version or released a bug
fix. I think because there are some major differences between the amber9
version and the amber8 version. The amber9 version supports dynamic memory
allocation for starters.
I have attempted to make a patch file for version 8 ambpdb.f that will add
dynamic memory allocation and "hopefully" fix the segmentation fault. I have
attached it to this email. You are welcome to try it out.
You will need to get a pristine version of amber8 and apply bugfix.all (or
at the very least bugfix.11) to the src tree (see amber website). Then apply
my bugfix with:
cp ambpdb_test_patch.txt $AMBERHOME/
cd $AMBERHOME
patch -p0 <ambpdb_test_patch.txt
You should see:
"patching file src/etc/ambpdb.f" - Or something similar (I.e. no errors).
Then do
cd $AMBERHOME/src/etc
make ambpdb
cp ambpdb ../../exe/
Then see if the new ambpdb works. It works for me on an Intel P4 using ifort
8.1. Please let me know if it works for you. If it does I will post an
official bugfix.
Please note, this patch contains no warranty whatsoever...
All the best
Ross
