Charm++ parallel programming system

[Phil Miller <mille121 AT illinois.edu>]

The NAMD binary that you have (from the compiled download, I assume)
seems to be perfectly
fine. The command line you ran isn't shown in your screen capture, but
the error message it gave is quite descriptive - "No simulation config
file specified on command line".

There should be some file like 'apoa1.namd' describing the input and
parameters that you want NAMD to work on. You would write its name on
the command line after the executable; e.g.

/path/to/whatever> namd2.exe apoa1.namd

If you did something like that and still got the above error, you need
to actually show the command line you ran, and not just the tail end
of the output. Also, since precompiled NAMD should meet your needs,
and at least starts on your system, I'll suggest that this issue is
better suited for the NAMD users' mailing list (CCed).

I hope that helps

Phil.
