lib-4205 : UNRECOVERABLE library error

Post by Martin » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:35 am

Dear ABINITers,

running a ground-state calculation I received the following error message:

lib-4205 : UNRECOVERABLE library error
Unable to find error message (check NLSPATH, file lib.cat)

How can I get around this problem?

I attached the corresponding input and log files.

Best regards,
Martin

this looks more like a system error than an abinit error, however, it may be caused by abinit. Are you sure your computer can handle the extremely enormous calculation you are trying to do? 500 atoms is huge, and especially so for GW. The memory requirement listed in the log file is 23-24 Gb per processor, do you have that much? If not won't the system be disk-swapping forever?
