AW: glycosaminoglycan with GLYCAM06 in amber format

Hi,

that's what I figured. ^^

It sounds a bit like an configuration problem. I don't know if namd would
bring a message about no such file if it wouldn't find the top, but you
could try to change the filename in the config and see. If namd shows
another message then, it really claims about the file format, if the message
is the same, it doesn't find the file.

Please attach a link to your top,crd,namd.in

Good luck

Norman Geist.
