[Dock-fans] Fatal error about amber score.

[Scott Brozell]

Hi,

How big are the ligands and the receptor ?
What are the total and available memory ?

One possibility is to increase your available resources:
Some machines have a very
restrictive policy on allocating available resources:
increase the datasize, stacksize, and memoryuse
using the limit, ulimit, or unlimit commands;
for many Linuxes this command sequence will work:
limit; unlimit; limit
Otherwise read the man pages or apply trial and error
to find the apt use of these commands.

Another possibilty is to 
rank_ligands                                                 no
but this probably won't save much space.

Divide and conquer will work.  Split your calculation into two runs.
