Dr. Case
Thanks for your response.
The OS is Linux (running RedHat Enterprise 5)and I did use the gcc compiler (4.1.1). Do the failures mean that umbrella sampling with REMD and the Steered Md application will not function properly?
I did find the *.dif files and the log file containing the "possible failures". The Error seems to be "**NCSU-ERROR** :check list value for key 'i', got '<Empty>' instead". The "possible failures" appear to be differences in numerical outcomes. I attempted to track down this "NCSU-error* and could not find anything substantial.
I have run amber 7 and 8 for several years in parallel. However, a system administrator did all the compiling etc. So, I am a complete novice when it comes to compiling, patching etc..AMBER.
Sorry, I will try to keep my questions to a minimum.
Thanks, Steve

You should report which OS and compiler you are using. But I'm guessing you have a machine with gcc 4.1.2. This compiler will lead to failures if you use the "abmd" functionality, but should be OK otherwise.

You should only proceed to MPI if you know you need parallel capabilities, i.e. if you are planning to run long caclualtions, and have access to parallel computing facilities. New users of Amber should use the serial version to gain familiarity with the program, and only go on to parallel computation when you know it is needed, and you have some understanding of how everything works.
