Re: [AMBER] Problem in using MMPBSA.py with Amber10

Hello Wei,

imin = 5 was introduced in amber9, so it should work just fine with
amber10. If you look at the amber10 manual on page 23, it clearly describes
the imin = 5 functionality. The imin = 5 trajectory analysis is not
supported in pmemd, but that is not used in MMPBSA.py.

There is also a problem with the differ script in the test suite in which
absolute/relative error comparisons will register "PASSED" in some cases
where it should report "FAILURE", with some cryptic message about
"ddtmp.FINAL_RESULTS_MMPBSA.dat is short" or something. This has been fixed
in the new release, but can still be misleading.

Are you trying with GB or PB? Do the tests really pass or not? If the
tests really pass, then try using the input files provided in the test suite
for your system and see if that works.

Hope this helps,
Jason
