i ran the init.sh and env.sh and no error was produced. but the run.sh file produced this error:

How to solve this error?

Hi Ibrahim,

This is a classic error when you did not successfully pass your pcoord to WESTPA. This might be due to the fact that it didn't propagate the segment properly, or you didn't calculate the value properly. Make sure you carefully debug your runseg.sh. Did you correctly point to your GROMACS installation in env.sh? Check your per-segment error log in seg_logs for more detailed information.

thank you it worked now. but after finishing and inspecting the west.log file, i found this:

WEST run complete.

Exception in thread receiver:
Traceback (most recent call last):

 what is the error in the last three line? is it important or is it related to the conda environment?

thanks

Hi Ibrahim,

That's safe to ignore. On some systems, python didn't shut down cleanly, leading to this specific error. The `WEST run complete.` line indicate WESTPA has terminated successfully.
