Re: [AMBER] Summit compile and "Attempted to read inpcrd as a NetCDF restart file, but failed"

Hi,

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's probably
architecture-related; as far as I know none of the Amber devs has easy
access to a Power9 system (I certainly don't), so it may be hard for
us to reproduce. The errors only happen with mdgx? Not
sander/pmemd/cpptraj/etc?

Just for fun, I tried loading a inpcrd & prmtop created by CHARMM-GUI for a completely different system (changing mdgx.in as needed), and I got the same error. (the point was to see if mdgx could handle an arbitrary inpcrd/prmtop, and it could not.
