I think the answer to your problem is in the message you quoted (below), but
it's not clear if you actually tried any of these.

The "source /opt/pmemd24/amber.sh" command will set up the PMEMDHOME
variable, and add $PMEMDHOME/bin to your PATH. This should enable you to
run the tests, and other pmemd jobs.

After doing this, try "echo $PMEMDHOME" to make sure that the variable has
indeed been set correctly.

...good luck...dac
