David and All,
1) Is this correct to say then that both $Amberhome/bin and
$Amberhome/lib have to be installed (copied to executable tree
destination) for nab to work? Are there any other directories/files
in the install tree that have to copied to the executable tree
destination?
2) I assume that both serial and parallel Amber 11 programs can be
present in the the same $Amberhome/bin directory *regardless* of what
version (serial or parallel) of AmberTools has been most recently
built into this directory. I think these are independent. In fact I
build Amber 11 first and AmberTolls 1.4 second. Is this statement
correct?
Thank you,
-Martin.
