Re: [AMBER] Segmentation Fault (Core Dumped) in xLEaP

Dr. Simmerling,

I would like to preface my update with an apology- another member of this
community has informed me that I have been referring to you by an
inappropriate title. While I should have been able to determine your title
from your signature line, I did not want to make any assumptions- I would
like to apologize for that and assure you that I meant no disrespect.

When running my script via tLEaP, the sequence {} command also gives the
same segmentation fault error as if I had run it via xLEaP instead. At this
point I am pretty stumped as to what might be causing this problem, or what
information might be helpful to solve this problem.

Any help is much appreciated,
-NDB
