Running the PAW 1 tutorial

Post by bjornar » Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:17 pm

I have tried running the "6c.lda.atompaw" pseudopotential at the PAW 1 tutorials using different versions of Abinit. In all cases the .out file gives the following error message at the very bottom:

psp7in: ERROR -
This version of PAW psp file ( 4) is not compatible with
current version of Abinit.

In line 2 the same .out file says the version of Abinit i 5.3.4, even though a newer version really is the one being used (currently 6.2.3).
Btw. I am running the program sequentially, and do not have MPI on the computer (and it does not have the abillity to it either).

Hi Bjornar,

Well ... abinit doesn't lie about its version - it's not scared of growing old, I assume :-) So if it says 5.3, believe it and check what's in the PATH with a "which abinit". Take into account the change of naming convention - from abinis/abinip to the generic abinit for the new versions.

Kind regards,

Alain

also, the versions you are talking about are pretty out-dated, you should update to a 7.0.x version--
