I will send an email with the errors tonight after I try to compile again.
I believe I used version 2.12 of NAMD. Could you point me toward a
comprehensive guide I should be looking at? Is there a standardized
procedure that I should be following when compiling from source? I was
following these instructions but I'm hoping I can find a more successful
set of instructions.

Best,

Joey
