I believe the last three values is the angle between the vectors.

Subject: Re: [AMBER] Failure minimizing pamr7 files from A1 tutorial with NAMD=CUDA
Hello Ross:
Just a quick (final) question: do the last line of the .inpcrd file
for a rectangular box represent the cellbasisvectors (xyz, first three
values) and the center of the box (xyz, last three values)?
64.0352560 68.0597930 61.0211890 90.0000000 90.0000000 90.0000000
After that Ill'go asking at the NAMD desk.
Thanks a lot
francesco
***************************
If you want to know why I am asking that:
I used them in the .conf file:
# periodic settings
cellBasisVector1 64.0352560 0.0 0.0
cellBasisVector2 0.0 68.0597930 0.0
cellBasisVector3 0.0 0.0 61.0211890
cellOrigin 90.0000000 90.0000000 90.0000000
I did that because the .prmtop/.inpcrd of the A1 tutorial saved aafter
"solvatebox 1PLC TIP3PBOX 12" let to perform a correct minimization
with NAMD-CUDA multiple GTX-580 (juust 1000 steps; I forgot to check
the gradient), while they do not open correctly in VMD (just a
straigth segment instead of a box, so that I could not measure the
box). The .prmtop/.dcd after the minimization open correctly in VMD as
a box with the protein at the center.
After saving .prmtop/.inpcrd from leap I also saved
"savepdb 1PLC 1PLC.box.pdb"
but this does not help VMD.
Incidentally, as I was curious about this matter, I simply copied to
ambertools1.5 xleap and xaLeap from amber10. It works, except for some
fonts not converted and +Icon pixmap "xleap_icon" not found.

Then it might be something subtle going wrong inside the code and you might need an expert in the code to look at it.

I think the key will be to see if it works in the cpu version. You can download a binary of namd and just quickly try it with the single cpu version and see if that works. That will quickly tell you if it is the input files or a bug in the code.

Did you compile the amber10 version on a different machine? - You could try running '$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/configure gnu' and see if it mentions anything about skipping the building of xleap. Normally this is because xorg-X11-devel (or similar) is not installed.
