Hi,
on which platform ?
I suppose you try the first lesson in tutorials :
http://www.abinit.org/documentation/helpfiles/for-v7.4/tutorial/lesson_base1.html
please, read the instructions carefully…
concerning the command to run abinit, the correct syntax is :
Code: Select all
abinit < tbase1_x.files >& log with x=1 to 5 ( tbase1_1.files, tbase1_2.files,…)
jmb

This is a shell error.
Using the symbol "<" means read the standard input (usually from the keyboard) from a file which is, in your case, Si.files.
The next symbol ">" means send the standard ouput (usually to the screen) to a file, which is in jmb's example log. If you don't specify any file name after ">" the shell won't know what to do and produce the error.
So to solve your problem, put a file name after ">" (usually call log)
If you don't want to save what is printed on screen, just run "abinit < Si.files"
