Hi Lili,
Typically when you receive a message saying "cannot execute binary file" it
means the executable was compiled on a different system/architecture to the
one you are trying to run it on.
Are you certain Leap was compiled in cygwin on the same architecture you are
currently trying to run it on? If not you'll need to recompile it.
All the best
Ross

Subject: Re: AMBER: Cygwin error
Dear all,
Thanks all for your helpful comments. I've installed the tcsh package in
Cygwin. However, I've encountered another problem. When I try to run xleap
by typing "$AMBERHOME/exe/xleap -s -f $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/cmd/leaprc.ff99SB"
I just end up getting the following message:
"/cygdrive/h/amber9/exe/xaLeap: /cygdrive/h/amber9/exe/xaLeap: cannot
execute binary file"
I've also tried the following:
$ xleap
/cygdrive/h/amber9/exe/xaLeap: /cygdrive/h/amber9/exe/xaLeap: cannot execute
binary file
$ xaLeap
./xaLeap: ./xaLeap: cannot execute binary file
I wondered whether it was a permissions problem, so I tried:
$ ls -ll xaLeap
-rwx------+ 1 Lili None 3467265 Mar 29 15:54 xaLeap
...Obviously I have read, write, and execute access, so it can't be a
permissions issue..
Does anyone have insights on the problem?
Thanks,
Lili

That's weird, it works fine for me. Which shell are you using? The
default in cygwin in bash, which is the one I use, and just "cd
$AMBERHOME" works just fine.

Well, that's another thing. This is unrelated to the error you
reported before, but yes, you need csh. In Cygwin, "csh" is actually a
symlink to "tcsh":
$ which csh
/usr/bin/csh
$ ls -l /usr/bin/csh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 adm None 8 Jun 7 15:47 /usr/bin/csh -> tcsh.exe
The problem is that tcsh is not installed by default. You need to run
setup.exe again and explicitly select it from the "shells" menu. The
link from csh is created automatically.
Gustavo.
