Dear Amber users,
I have been trying to install Amber24 on a M3 Mac and found several problems in my way that I wanted to share here in case it may be useful to somebody else.
There has been previous chatter about the boost library. Indeed, I have not been able to install it so it is used by the compiler, even if I tried installing it with brew too. However, previous messages I have seen in the archive noted that this supposed a problem for moft and disabling it could allow to compile the rest of Amber suite. In my case, boost was actually a problem for packmol-memgen, specifically memembed and disabling packmol-memgen allowed the compilation of the rest of Amber24. Now I still have to try to install the parallel version.
As a frequent user of packmol-memgen this was rather unconvenient, even more because I had previously tried to use the ambertools23 version in conda and failed because packmol did not recognize “amber_ter_preserve” (note: Today this is already solved with version 2024.2.9 of packmol-memgen present in the current version of ambertools23 in conda). With this in mind, I tried to install packmol-memgen separately using the setup.py script in its source folder. An error raised again complaining about the boost library but the installation completed and packmol-memgen seems to work. I supose that the memembed utility may not work and therefore proteins should already be preoriented but for now, the tests I have done worked properly.
Anyway, this is how I was able to install Amber24 and Packmol-memgen in an M3 Mac. I would like to ask if someone has been able to solve this and install memembed too.
Thanks,
