Re: [AMBER] AMBER: segmentation fault when running parmchk

So I finally figured out how to debug using gdb.


(gdb) run -i /file.pdb -f pdb -o /file.frcmod

Starting program: /amber10/bin/parmchk -i /file.pdb -f pdb -o /file.frcmod -p $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/parm/parm99.dat

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000414a26 in rprepi ()
(gdb)

Any ideas?

Hi,

I tried adding the -p to the execution command. Still the same results. I've reinstalled gcc and recompiled/installed AmberTools about 3 times, each time the tests pass, and each time I get the segmentation error.

Hello,

Did you try specifying -p $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/parm/parm99.dat so that it
pulls the parameters from the parm99.dat parameter database? By default it
appears to pull gaff parameters, and I find it unlikely that the atoms are
named properly for gaff.dat. (but maybe this does not matter? a parmchk
expert would be able to say).

Also, do all of your tests pass?

Good luck!
Jason
