Fwd: RAMD Setting parameter TclForces from script failed

I beg pardon again. My .bashrc contains

# For RAMD in NAMD
source /usr/local/namd_2.8nb/lib/ramd/scripts/ramd-4.1.tcl

In turn, the ramd portion of namd conf file, which come after the
"run" command, contains again

#*** Random Acceleration Molecular Dynamics
*************************************

source /usr/local/namd_2.8nb/lib/ramd/scripts/ramd-4.1.tcl

Does that result in having "tclforces on" after the "run" command?
I'll try to delete the second source.

Hi  Jim:
Yes, "tclforces on" is in the sourced ramd script, which comes after
the "run" command in namd conf file.  I had checked that against namd
2.7 with external namd: there was the same order of statements.

Now, if "tclforces on" is located in namd conf file, at the top:

# forcefield
paratypecharmm on
parameters ./par_all27_prot_lipid.prm
parameters ./AP1.r.prm
tclForces on

the error is:

Info: Configuration file is ramd_acc-03.conf
Info: Working in the current directory
/home/francesco/work_hasic1a_GLUP_ASPP_allHSP_S-S/9.ramd_04-1.1
TCL: Suspending until startup complete.
ERROR: 'tclForcesScript' is a required configuration option
ERROR:   when 'tclForces' is set
ERROR: tclForcesScript defines:   Tcl script for global forces
FATAL ERROR: ERROR(S) IN THE CONFIGURATION FILE

Where should "tclforces on" be now located?

thanks
francesco
