Thanks for your email. A couple of points, that may be of more general
interest to Amber users:
1. The detailed problem ("TINKER is Unable to Continue") is really a
Tinker issue, and you may wish to ask your question of the tinker
developers.
2. More generally: support in Amber for Amoeba calculations is waning.
Basically, Tinker itself, and the OpenMM implementation of Amoeba, have
made so much progress in recent years, that there seems to be little
need for a separate implementation in Amber. We no longer distribute
pmemd.amoeba, for example.
Once you go through all the steps of creating the system in Tinker, it
now probably makes the most sense to continue in Tinker or OpenMM.
While we will do our best to answer questions, my guess is that very few
people use Amber to run Amoeba simulations any more; maybe someone on
the list can prove me wrong! The Tinker/OpenMM approaches, on the other
hand, and both actively developed and more widely used.
[There may be a rejuvenation of interest in the Amber development
community in polarizable force fields, but that will come from
developers wanting to run such simulations, not from a desire to
check-off something on a "list of features".]
Sorry I can't be of more help. I recognize the problem, but haven't
myself worked in that area for several years.
