Re: [AMBER] imaging namd-generated dcd trajectories with cpptraj

I patched AMBER 12 up to bugfix 26 (I have seen some bugfixes for
cpptraj, so I double check that they are applied).
I get my trajectories imaged correctly with ptraj as long as I fix
alpha, beta, gamma to 109.xxx ... degrees.

In cpptraj I always get the error when using exactly the same "image
familiar" command as in ptraj (using "box alpha 109 beta 109 gamma 109
fixalpha fixbeta fixgamma" beforehand does not lead to correct imaging
as it happens in ptraj.

---error message ---
Too many iterations in routine JACOBI
convergence failed

Best,
Vlad
