Dear friends,
When I try to use a configuration (see below) which succeeds before to compile the latest version Abinit 6.2.2, an out-of-memory error appears (see below). Could you tell me what is wrong and how to avoid it? Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
Guangfu Luo
P.S. The physical memory of the node where I compile Abinit is 8 GB. The intel ifort compiler version is 9.1.052 and the openmpi version is 1.4.2 (I also tried intel mpi 4.0.0.028). The cpu is "AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2220"

Re: Out of memory error while compiling Abinit 6.2.2
Dear friends,
I got the cause of this problem: our cluster administrator set a memory limitation before and it is too low to finish the compilation.
