Dear Abhishek,

The QM/MM interface to external QM programs works as described in the manual. As an example you can also look at the tests in $AMBERHOME/test/qmmm_EXTERN/.

The input file that you describe does not have a valid entry for the &qmmm namelist variable iqmatoms. It should be a comma separated list of integers.

If you have not yet resolved your problems, you can send me your input files (mdin, prmtop, inpcrd) off list and I can check what is wrong.

All the best,
Andy
