[AMBER] Error message when doing A10 tutorial (SMD with LCOD) with AMBER 10.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am using AMBER10. I want to do the SMD analysis as tutorial A10. I downloaded all the files from the tutorial.

 

As LCOD reaction coordinate is not available in AMBER10, I also downloaded the code in the tutorial and followed the readme file to install the LCOD-amber10.tgz file. In the $AMBERHOME/src/sander directory, I type "tar xvfz /LCOD-amber10.tgz". In the same directory, I type "make sander". In the $AMBERHOME/src/sander directory, I can see a number of related files as follows:

 

>>ls *colvar*
_ncsu-colvar.f ncsu_colvar.mod _ncsu-colvar-utils.f
ncsu-colvar.f ncsu-colvar.o ncsu-colvar-utils.f
_ncsu-colvar-math.f _ncsu-colvar-type.f ncsu_colvar_utils.mod
ncsu-colvar-math.f ncsu-colvar-type.f ncsu-colvar-utils.o
ncsu_colvar_math.mod ncsu_colvar_type.mod
ncsu-colvar-math.o ncsu-colvar-type.o


Thus, I seems to me that it is installed already. However, when I run the same input files I downloaded from the tutorial A10 by typing the following command line in console

 

" $AMBERHOME/exe/sander -O -i mdin -o test2.out -p mr.top -c restrt -r test2.rst -x test2.mdcrd "

 

Following error message appears in the test2.out file

 

===============================================================================

MR
 begin time read from input coords = 925.000 ps

 Number of triangulated 3-point waters found: 0

     Sum of charges from parm topology file = -0.00010000

 ** NCSU-Error ** : CV type 'LCOD' is not supported so far (CV #1)
===============================================================================

 

It seems to me that sander still cannot recognize the LCOD command. Do you think I still need to modify the input file below to get it work:
