RE: error in (runfepmin)

To expand on this a bit further, whenever you see a "$", that is an indication to the tcl interpreter that you are talking about a variable name. You don't seem to have a variable "temp", which is set with "set temp 3.14159" if you wanted $temp to be replace with 3.14159 wherever it appears. Note that saying "temperature 0" does not set a variable, and is only read in by NAMD's configuration file parser.

You have set the variable temperature to zero, while the last line reads $temp which refers to a different variable which is undefined. So either rename temperature to temp or change temp to temperature.
