Hi,

The LCPO algorithm needs to know how many bonds each atom has to work
correctly. Unfortunately the current version of cpptraj is not able to
create bond information from PDB files; this feature will be present
in the next version of cpptraj, available in the upcoming release of
AmberTools 12.

Currently, as long as the PDB has the same # of atoms and residues as
the prmtop they can be used together. Something like:

parm prmtop.movie0.parm7
trajin movie0.pdb

should work fine. If you're having trouble creating a prmtop for your
PDB with leap maybe you could post 1 frame from the PDB file in
question so I and others can give some suggestions.
