Re: [AMBER] problem with MM-PBSA

Well, one immediate thing that I see wrong here is that you are trying to
run MMPBSA.py in parallel, but you are using the serial version of
MMPBSA.py. In binding_energy.pbs you have the command 'mpirun -np 28
MMPBSA...'. However, to run MMPBSA in parallel you will need to use the MPI
version: MMPBSA.MPI. Essentially, it looks like you are trying to run the
same calculation 28 times and they are competing for resources (same file
names, specifically) and that is what is causing all the errors you are
seeing. Change to the MPI version (or try running MMPBSA in serial instead)
and see if this fixes your problem.
