It will not fix the error with RISM you were reporting.

Then it's not AmberTools 1.5. It must be AmberTools 1.4 (unless the person
that gave you the tarball did some weird surgeries and pieced together code
from different versions, which isn't likely).

But not the proper version of AmberTools.

Nope. These files were generated because the AmberTools 1.5 bugfix.all
patches AT15_Amber11.py, and so it generates an original file (blank file)
and a rejected patch file (.rej) from the failed patch attempt.

My suggestion is to get ahold of the Amber11.tar.bz2 distributed from the
Amber website and combine that with an AmberTools 1.5 download you can get
for free from http://ambermd.org and follow the instructions from there.

You can *try* to just extract an AmberTools 1.5 source tree on top of your
amber11 extract and build from there, but since I don't know what state the
source code was given to you in, I can't guarantee that this will work.

HTH,
Jason
