Hi Quentin,

As you found, this is a common question on the mailing list. You should be
aware that divalent cations are still a significant problem for fixed
charge force fields. I don't believe there is any commonly accepted
parameterization for calcium, especially amongst the AMBER community. I
would be careful with what Leap gives you (even when you do get it to
"work").

Regards,
Brian
