(Please copy the mailing list in your replies so others can benefit.)

Glad it worked! At some point, we’ll have to figure out what’s unusual about 2.12 for FFTK.

Best,
JC

At the bottom of the debugging log it says "NAMD run complete" although it only ran for a second and the tutorial suggests that such a run should take a few minutes... Furthermore, the FFTK GUI still says "Status: Running" and it remains inactive. The output .log file was created but it is empty.

It seems that the program is running continuously for a very long time ("Status: Running.." on the GUI), without writing or updating any files after the initial ones have been created. I do not have any error messages.
