This error indicates to me a permission issue. The updating script
attempted to download update.21 to the file
.patches/AmberTools13_Unapplied_Patches/update.21 but was told that it did
not have permission to write that file.
Make sure that your user has ownership of $AMBERHOME (and all directories
therein) before trying to do any type of compiling. The following command
should give you ownership:
sudo chown -R `whoami` $AMBERHOME
Good luck,
