Hi all,
When I run a GW calculation, the screening calculation requires the KSS file. Can I specify an absolute path for this KSS file? It is annoying to copy it everywhere since the file size is huge(several GB). Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards

Hello,
You can have a symbolic link to your KSS file.
Assume your KSS file is located in :
/home/xiangpisai/mysimulation/mykssfile_KSS
You type :
ln -s /home/xiangpisai/mysimulation/mykssfile_KSS mylinktothekssfile_KSS
in the directory you want to make your screening calculation (with mylinktothekssfile_KSS being the correct name from your .files file of your screening calculation. You can of course have several links to the same file.
