[CP2K:2126] Re: assignment of covalent radii for MM atoms

[Teodoro Laino]

These are two different problems:

1) since you use amber topologies you should never handle mm types,  
the only case would be for specifying RADIUS in QM/MM. In this case  
you can dump a PDB file where the new kinds are written and start from  
there..
In the future I may think about assigning RADIUS to elements instead  
of kinds but for the time being, unfortunately, there is (for amber  
only) a little overhead.

2) the error you see is related to QS. you didn't specify the KIND  
section in the subsys for the QM atoms. These kinds have nothing to do  
with amber but it was you to specify them with the  QM_KINDS in the  
QMMM section.
