I just tried it with sleap in amber10 as well. same result. maybe not
surprising. anyway worth mentioning. hmm... can the size of the solute
be a potential problem?
By the way, sleap does not like the closeness parameter:
lars.lars-desktop:~/tmp/solvate_oct_test$ sleap
[gtkleap]$ source leaprc.ff03
using file /usr/local/amber10/dat/leap/cmd/leaprc.ff03

[gtkleap]$ source leaprc.gaff
using file /usr/local/amber10/dat/leap/cmd/leaprc.gaff
using file /usr/local/amber10/dat/leap/gleap/gaff.dat
[gtkleap]$ set default fastbld on
[gtkleap]$ mol = loadpdb protein.pdb
[gtkleap]$ solvatebox mol TIP3PBOX 12.0 0.78
Error: wrong number of arguments
[gtkleap]$ solvateBox mol TIP3PBOX 12.0
box size : 174.180 177.935 172.886
[gtkleap]$
Thanks.
