If you give some more specifics about what is going wrong I may be
able to help. With the latest GitHub version of cpptraj with Amber
already installed and AMBERHOME correctly set it should be as simple
as:

./configure -amberlib gnu

(Assuming of course you are using gnu compilers). Let me know if you
need any more help,
