Thank you Florent. It seems to work if I type
$AMBERHOME/exe/xleap -s -f $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/cmd/leaprc.ff99 to get to
xleap,
then if I enter both of these lines:
source leaprc.gaff
source learprc.ff03
everything works well.
Does typing these two force fields nullify the effect of the glycam force
field? Then I can type:
saveamberparm SUS sustiva.prmtop sustiva.inpcrd
If I omit any of these force fields, I can't build the prmtop or inpcrd
files.
Best regards,
Heath
