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).

Re: Running the PAW 1 tutorial
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

Re: Running the PAW 1 tutorial
also, the versions you are talking about are pretty out-dated, you should update to a 7.0.x version--
