[AMBER] MMPBSA Quasi-Harmonic Entropy

Hello,

I'm using the mmpbsa script in Ambertools16 to calculate the binding
affinity between a protein and membrane. The simulations were first run in
NAMD, and I used chamber in parmed with my *.psf and CHARMM
topology/parameter files to generate *.prmtop files. I have 400 snapshots,
saved every 240 ps.

While PB/GB calculations work, I'm having problems when trying to refine
these calculations with a quasi-harmonic approximation to the entropy. The
calculation fails on my unsolvated complex prmtop file, but there is no
data printed to the _MMPBSA_cpptraj_entropy.out file. Below is the error
message:
