Huhu,
"OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" in context of subprocess
means that the executable path provided to `subprocess.Popen()` is not a
valid path. This is contradictory to the message "cpptraj found! Using
cpptraj". Likewise, there must be a problem in the source code.
I went through AmberTools12's MMPBSA source, and if I am not overseeing
something elementary, I found this problem. However, I did not compile
AmberTools12 myself so far and did not run any tests. So in case I've
overseen something, I may have identified the problem wrongly which also
renders the proposed solution to nonsense :-)
Let's look at line 37 of findprogs.py (in function `find_progs()`):
print '%s found! Using %s' % (prog, str(my_progs[prog]))
which in Kumar's case resulted in "cpptraj found! Using cpptraj".
From the code in context, `prog` is the 'required' program name, in
this case "cpptraj". "cpptraj found" actually means cpptraj is
required/requested. It does not mean that the executable has been found
so far.
`str(my_progs[prog])` prints what the `__str__` method of class
`ExternProg` returns:
def __str__(self):
if self.full_path: return self.full_path
else: return self.prog_name
`self.full_path` is what `which(self.prog_name, self.search_path)`
returns. This function returns `None` if the requested executable was
neither found in a) $AMBERHOME/bin nor in $PATH. Hence, if the program
is not found by `which()`, `self.full_path` is `None` and
`self.prog_name` is printed. Which does not make sense.
This means that "cpptraj found! Using cpptraj" is printed even if the
cpptraj executable is not found. The same is true for any other required
program.
A `None` returned by `which()` indicates that the executable was not
found. However, I cannot find any place where a `None` returned by
`which()` results in an error message. I think that `find_progs()`
should return `False` or `None` in case one of the requested executables
could not be found. Then, in MMPBSA.py(cc), after line 497:
external_progs = find_progs(INPUT)
we should check for `external_progs` being `None` or `False`. I attached
two patch files implementing these suggestions. Again, I did not test
anything of this.
This is only a suggestion and maybe it helps,
