You are trying to read a WFK file generated with a recent version of Abinit but the optic
tool found in your $PATH is too old and does not support the new fileformat.

Use the shell command:

$ whereis optic

to print the location of the executable.
Make sure you are using a version of optic that matches the one used to generate the WFK file

think you,
I have changed the version abinit. but I found the same problem: I used
- Abinit-6.10.3
- Version 5.3.4 of OPTIC

Note that I was suggesting to change the version of optic, and not the version of Abinit

The version of optic you are using is too old.
OPTIC-5.3.4 cannot read the WFK file produced by Abinit-6.10.3
since we have introduced new formats for the WFK file.
Use Optic version 6.10.3, the executable is located inside ~abinit-6-10.3/src/98_main/
where ~abinit is the directory containing the source code used to compile the abinit executable
you are using in your calculations.

Dear;
yes, I used optic located in abinit6.8.3/src/98_main. but I found the same problem

Dear;
yes, I used optic located in abinit6.10.3/src/98_main. but I found the same problem. i used the inputs from optical tutorial

So the next questions are:

1) "Which version of Abinit di you use to generate the files you are trying to read with optics?"

2) Can you complete the optic tutorial, if you use the executables (abinit, optic) located in abinit6.8.3/src/98_main

dear
I used several version abinit source ( 7.6.2.... and 6.10.3 6.8.3 etc). for each version I used abinit; optic are in abinit/src/98_main ( excutable optic for every defirent version). but every time I find the same problem

Configuration options, compiler?
Attach the output of configure (config.log) and the complete output produced by optic
when the calculation stops

Dear,
please find these files.
note that the files toptic_2.out is not created

hello,
I have done every thing to overcome this problem. mias, Still I find the same problem.

Cordially
