I was wrong in my initial diagnosis. This error is not caused when the
PDB file does not exist. It is caused when the "reduce" program is not
installed and/or cannot be found:
$ which reduce
which: no reduce in
[snip path]
$ pdb4amber -i 3ptb.pdb --reduce
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/amber14/bin/pdb4amber", line 904, in <module>
opt.constantph, opt.mostpop, opt.reduce, opt.model)
File "/usr/local/amber14/bin/pdb4amber", line 807, in run
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__
errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1335, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Do you have $AMBERHOME/bin added to your PATH? This seems to be required
for using reduce with pdb4amber (I will adjust the behavior so it takes
reduce from AMBERHOME instead for future versions).
So my advice here:
1. Make sure $AMBERHOME/bin/reduce exists
2. Make sure you run the command "source $AMBERHOME/amber.sh" somewhere.
Either put it in your .bashrc file or, alternatively, run the command in
any shell you wish to run Amber in.
HTH,
Jason
