ABINIT Discussion Forums

Hi everybody,

I am new to abinit.
I have little or no experience of compiling/configuring any software.
Need to understand how to compile abinit on windows and also on linux OS.
I am finding it difficult to follow the details given in help file, particularly exactly what are the dependencies for installation (softwares needed to be installed) and how do I configure on both window and linux?
I am presently using RHEL 5, and Win XP.

Any advice or help will really get me out of this situation.

Hi everybody.

Can any one tell me how to install abinit under windows?
I've the executables for windows.
After extraction from the zipped file, I placed them in abinit folder.
However I am not able to run a single test.
Once I start the abinis.exe t11.in, it asks for input, output, ... and then the program stops with error saying ... isfile error.
Can anyone tell what is wrong with it.
Do I need to install any other softwares (gfortran/c++) or VM ware or anyother?

I am desperately seeking for any hint or details.

Would be really thankful for suggestions..

Highly optimistic.

You must redirect the input file and (optionally) redirect the output to a log file.
For example: abinit < t11.in > logfile

Read the beginning of the tutorial!

Thanks Sir,

Things are working very fine now.
I simply didn't gave attention to this (non-trivial) < >, as I am not a s/w expert.

Thanks again.
