mcstas2@mcstas2-desktop:/abinit-6.0.1$

We have installed the same version in another computer without any problems.
Is it because of Linux platform. Thanking in advance to anyone who can help.

Sincerely,

Abinit download for you some third party libraries, like NetCDF. The download is done at configure time and default location is in $HOME/.abinit.

May be your home is full and the download was not complete ? Or maybe the download failed for some network reasons but the configure didn't catch the error ?

Anyway, erase the NetCDF tar.gz file in .abinit subdir, reconfigure and make again.

Thanks a lot dcaliste,
Yes, I think it's network problem. The one we successfully installed was at my home computer
and the one we can't install was at my workplace.

In case your machine at work has no Internet connexion, you can still manually copy the following files (for ABINIT 6.0.x) in your .abinit/tarballs directory:

bigdft-1.2.0.2.tar.gz
etsf_io-1.0.2.tar.gz
libxc-svn-r6071-fixed.tar.gz
netcdf-3.6.3.tar.gz
wannier90-1.1.tar.gz

And run configure again.
