Re: [AMBER] Install problem

When you're installing amber10 I would have AMBERHOME set to your
amber10 directory (it should do this automatically, but best to be safe).

For general use, I agree with Jason that it's probably more important to
have $AMBERHOME set to your amberTools directory (the amber11 one in the
case of AmberTools 1.3), since programs like leap will search for
parameter files etc using the $AMBERHOME variable.

One thing to keep in mind is that when you are running test cases you
need to have $AMBERHOME set to the amber distribution you are running
the tests for. For example, when you're running tests for amber10,
$AMBERHOME needs to point to the amber10 directory for everything to
work correctly. Same deal for amber11 tests.

PS - General note to everyone: I know there have been a lot of changes
to the configure process lately, but since Amber and AmberTools are
essentially separate at this point should an $AMBERTOOLSHOME variable
introduced, or would that introduce more issues that it would solve?
