Are you working from these instructions:
https://ambermd.org/InstUbuntu.php ?
I don't see any mention of zlib1g-dev there. It would be great if you could
provide details of what changes you needed to make, to help us update the
web page as needed.

I would recommend using the run_cmake script that is provided, which will
download a miniconda version of python with all of the needed components.

Can you say more than "do not appear to work"? What did you try, and what
was the result?

Amber is probably not the program you want for this part of the task. You
will want to create a PDB-format file that has all the components that you
wish to simulate. People on the list may have suggestions here, but
something that permits interactive model-building seems required.
Having said that, please note that Amber is a molecular mechanics program,
primarily devoted to biomolecules. If you wish to simulate liquid crystals,
you will need to generate force field descriptions for all your components.
Tutorial 2.1 can help you get started on this procedure. A good
recommendation is to find a published paper that uses Amber to do
simulations similar to the ones you want to carry out, and see how things
were done there.
....good luck....dac
