Update after fixing all errors:
As it turns out, I had fixed the update 4 and 9 errors before! The
$AMBERHOME/update_amber --show-unapplied-patches does not return any value
for unapplied patches. I don't remember exactly but I assume the error was
gone after I solved the issue I had with my Python version.
I can use the NFE toolkit on both sander and pmemd to do steered MD
simulations, however as I remember, the pmemd could not perform any QMMM
runs (there is a &qmmm in my mdin file). Is this still the case in Amber16?
Best,
Sam
