Re: [AMBER] binding energy calculation problem

It was suggested in a previous thread (
http://archive.ambermd.org/201006/0490.html) that this error is not due to a
fillratio issue, but instead to the fact that you do not have enough memory
to run the calculation. You can either try running the calculation on a
system with more memory, or try adjusting the arcres variable, as the thread
previously mentioned suggests.

Good luck!
