Hi,
I could reproduce your error, so it's probably not a problem of your namd
installation. I tried reading the top/crd with ccarnal and it wasn't also
able to read it correctly. The error ccarnal threw pointed to a misreading,
maybe due to wrong format version. Have you used a converting tool or does
this file come directly out of leap??
Have you tried reading the files with sander/pmemd? What version of
ambertools do you use?
Definitely the parm is not in a correct parm7 format as it seems.
Good luck
Norman Geist.
