Please try to keep responses replied to the Amber list, and not individual

One thing I didn't catch in your last email: what you were trying to use as
a nmode input file was in fact a nab program.

The instructions were present in my last email, but I will summarize here:

1) You must compile your NAB program using "nab". You called this nab
program G17-vac-nmde.in. I would recommend changing that file name
to G17-vac-nmde.nab -- to demonstrate that it is a nab program.

mpinab G17-vac-nmde.nab

2) Use this new "a.out" file in your job script -instead- of nmode. So
your job file looks like this:

### SGE Job Stuff
#$ -cwd
#$ -V
### The next line submits to the amber11 pe and tells SGE how many
processors are required
#$ -pe amber11 4

cd $SGE_O_WORKDIR

mpiexec -n $NSLOTS ./a.out


Notice the SGE_O_WORKDIR command -- this will automatically change into the
directory that you submitted the job from (make sure you compile your nab
program inside this directory and that the files you provided in your nab
program are present in that directory).

One note, your input file imposes very strict convergence criteria on the
Newton-Raphson minimization. For big systems, this is likely too strict,
and your system will never finish minimizing (but maybe not). This is
something to keep in mind while debugging.

Good luck,
Jason
