[AMBER] Problem: ambertool1.2 mopac is ok for my molecules, but ambertool1.4 sqm fails

Dear All,

I failed to use ambertools1.4 sqm for the qm calculations. My ligands is
take from x-ray structure with a resolution of 1.8 angstrom. The error is as
following:
QMMM: ERROR!
QMMM: Unable to achieve self consistency to the tolerances specified
QMMM: No convergence in SCF after 1000 steps.
QMMM: E = -0.1096E+07 DeltaE = -0.1095E-09 DeltaP = 0.3508E-13
QMMM: Smallest DeltaE = -0.6139E-10 DeltaP = 0.1509E-06 Step = 5

For ambertools 1.4, I have applied the bug fixes.

Amber archives have reported similar cases :

However, if I use ambertools1.2 mopac for the qm calculations, everything
is fine. I guess it may be because that the initial structure of my ligand
is just slightly good for mopac, but not good enough for sqm. At this case
can I use the results calculated from mopac?

Great thanks

Shulin
