Dear MODELLER users,
I installed modeller onto my computer. It looks as though I am having problems getting the program to run properly.
I am running the program using bash instead of csh. In the installation, I accepted all defaults except for the program location. The program is located in a directory named /modeller. The program then can be found in /modeller/bin/mod6v2.
Running the tutorial files included in the installation seem to work. I think that model-default.top is working properly. The problem comes when I attempt to run the tutorials from http://salilab.org/modeller/user_manual.shtml.
The first tutorial generates this message:
$ mod6v2 seq_search.top /modeller/bin/mod6v2: line 38: 1360 Killed $NICE ${EXECUTABLE} $STEERF >$LOGF
The seq_search.top file looks like this:
SET SEARCH_RANDOMIZATIONS = 100 SEQUENCE_SEARCH FILE = 'TvLDH.ali', ALIGN_CODES = 'TvLDH', DATA_FILE =ON
I read that going into emacs and saving it may clear up the problem, but it did not.
The output file seq_search.log starts off well I think. But I don' t know if the end is correct. It aligns over 800 sequences. From the .top file, I thought it would only align 100 sequences.
Here is the start:

This leads me to think that it went over its 100 alignment limit and ended up timing out. I'm not sure how many hours this took. I believe it was over four hours. As you can see, the output file is 32 747 lines long.
Here is what the install program included with the .bashrc file. I've removed the key in case you don't want it displayed in the forum.

My computer has a 500 mb swap file. I don't know if that is adequate or if it is not enough for this program. Perhaps I am missing another setting of some sort.
Your help would be much appreciated. I've been trying to get the program to work for over a week so I'm perplexed.
Thanks
