ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear all,

I'm a new Abinit user. I have configure atompaw4.0.0.10 following the guideline. When i try to exucute : "atompaw <inputfile" an error message is displayed : " atompaw: error while loading shared libraries: libatompaw.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" .
Can anyone help me to solve this problem ?

We need more information in order to help you: computer architecture and OS, Abinit version, whether you try to build AtomPAW within Abinit or from an external download, ...

I have the same problem and I will provide you with the required details:

Linux -Ubuntu x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I build atompaw from an external download- I have downloaded atompaw-3.1.0.3
I get the same error as mentioned in the above post -shared library libatompaw.so.0 error.

Thanks for your attention in advance.

Hi! I am new here. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I encountered the same problem after installing atompaw-4.0.0.12. I tried to recompile multiple times, I have also tried to compile abinit with atompaw flag. I have not found the problem mentioned anywhere else after searching for it.

Dear all,

Have you tried to configure with the --enable-static option ? and then compile.
The problem you have is that you have a dynamic executable which needs to load the dynamic libatompaw library. Enabling static library should switch atompaw to a static executable with a static library.

Cheers.

You can also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to point to the directory where libatompaw.so is installed.
