This is expected. Look at the FAQ's on the Amber page, or search for LINMIN
failure using our search box. One possible thing to try is to set dsum_tol
in the &ewald namelist to 0.000001, which may help.
I will note that for a periodic (I assume solvated) system, finding a precise
minimum (including the positions of all solvent molecules) may not be all that
useful an exercise. (But of course, I don't know what you are really trying
to do here.....)
...good luck....dac
