Re: [AMBER] possible bug - SIGSEGV in cpptraj called from MMPBSA.py

Hi,

If possible, can you send me off-list the topology (E81A.top) and a
few frames of the trajectory (../input/E81A.nc) so I can try to
reproduce the segfault locally?

One thing you could try is to use the GitHub version of cpptraj in
place of the AmberTools version of cpptraj
(https://github.com/Amber-MD/cpptraj); it's possible the bug may have
been fixed since the AmberTools release. You would just have to source
cpptraj.sh in CPPTRAJHOME after you source amber.sh in AMBERHOME to
make sure the binary in CPPTRAJHOME gets priority.

Thanks for the report,

-Dan
