Re: [AMBER] Segmentation fault in MMPBSA.PY with two parts receptor

There is a small error in the manual about strip_mdcrd. it should be =0 if
you do not want to strip out the water. I guess this is your case as you do
not use -sp. I think this could be the cause of your problems. These errors
usually mean problems with the top files matching the crd file.

All the best,

Oliver
