Ross,
  Ok, no csh = thick-headed, I guess. At first it was a challenge, now
very difficult. BTW, I only have Linux systems so bash is comfortable
for me.

so I installed csh, and g77-3.4.6 and the install went fine. But again
I crashed at

antechamber/tp/Run.tp

Original error was
>make -f Makefile_at test

--lots of PASSED tests :-)

then

cd antechamber/tp && ./Run.tp
  ./Run.tp: Program error
make: *** [test.antechamber.hasG77] Error 1

I traced the failure back to the mopac.sh script

cat mopac.sh
#!/bin/sh

# Edit the following to match your local environment; the syntax
# for calling this shell script should be: mopac.sh input output.
# Depending on which version of mopac you have, you may need to remove
# the "<" and ">" symbols below, or make other changes. For example,
# some versions of mopac expect the input file to be "FOR005" and the
# output to be "FOR006"; some versions require the input file to end in
# ".DAT", etc., etc.

ln mopac.in FOR005
/home/surfer/tmp/amber10/bin/mopac >& FOR006
mv FOR006 mopac.out
rm -f FOR0??

I needed to change the #!/bin/sh -> #!/bin/csh, and it worked, and was
good for the other antechamber tests as well.

I don't know if it will break other systems to explicitly state which
bin/shell you are using, but perhaps making the change will help others
whose default shell is not csh.

The remainder of the test suite works fine! I'm now off to look at
compiling Amber10.

Cheers,
