Thank you so much for your response,

here is the detailed information;

Hardware: Two intel Nehalem processors total 8 physical 16 logical cores
OS: Ubuntu Karmic Koala with gcc4.4.1 and gfortran.
Parallelization: OpenMPI 1.4

I applied all bugfixes, AmberTools installation and tests were fine
just two minor failures. Amber serial installation was also fine and
there was just 4 rounding-off type failures. As already discussed at
different times i created a symbolic link from /bin/bash to /bin/sh.
Parallel installation was fine again. Parallel tests gave me same
failures with serial test when i used 2 processors. After that i tried
with 4 and 8 processors, unfortunately in both cases tests stalled at
different tests. I mean results are totally not reproducible. At once
they stalled at Run.cap, next time at Run.tip4p_nve another time at
Run.dip and so on...I have two locally installed OpenMPI versions as
OpenMPI1.4 and OpenMPI1.2.8 such that i linked their lib and bin
folders to PATH and LD_PATH manually in my .bashrc file, i tried both,
nothing has changed. Also i was using PCGAMESS in parallel mode before
and even if i used it with 8 processors it worked just fine. As a last
piece of information i had from all above stalled processes, they are
all belong to sander.MPI. One last thing to say i cancelled all PIMD
tests because i wouldn't use them and what i explained above for all
the other tests.

thank you so much
