Dear Experts,


Has anyone with amber 2018 able to generate ligand topologies for
Gromacs simulation. I got an error reporting "parmchk failed"  while
executing "acpype -i FFF.pdb". I noticed that there is no "parmchk"
installed in the system. The current version installed during
installation of amber is "parmchk2" and not "parmchk".

 I have amber 2018 and gromacs 2018 installed on a centos7 system.

Again if you're able to generate a topology with the new amber2018
setup please let me know. Also if you have some suggestion how to
proceed, please let me know.

Error report:
