ABINIT Discussion Forums

I tried to run test using ./runtests.py

But the following message came up. Do not know how to resolve this issue. Someone gave a solution to a similar problem in a different thread. But either I did not understand or may be his solution does not work. Please help me.

runtests.py cannot find the abinit executable in /home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/src/98_main/abinit

If you have build the code in a different directory e.g. in /home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/tmp
cd to tmp/tests with

cd /home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/tmp/tests

and run the script with

../../tests/runtests,py --help

I have the runtest.py file in /home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/tests directory. Though I opened a build directory under abinit-8.0.8 directory and inside the build directory somehow another test directory has been created which do not have runtest.py file. But still do not know how to link it with the executable file. I am new in Ubuntu and seek your help in this regard.

Right, the build directory does not contain runtests.py but the script is available in /home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/tests/runtests.py
and you can execute it provided that you specify its relative path (relative wrt to the directory in which you are working).
Your directory tree looks like:

abinit_home/
├── build
│   └── tests
└── tests
└── runtests.py


where build is the directory in which you have compiled abinit.
Open the terminal and go to abinit_home/build/tests i.e. the tests directory that does not contain runtests.py
Now you can invoke the python script in abinit_home/tests/ by typing:

../../tests/runtests.py

that corresponds to the absolute path abinit_home/tests/runtests.py
(/home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/tests/runtests.py in your particular case)

Thank you sir.

I ran tests by ./runtests.py -j 4 fast and ./runtests.py paral -n 2 -j 2.

Looks successful since it shows 11 succeeded.

I went to the abinit_home/build/src/98_main and wrote `make install`

I found the following errors: Makefile:3393: recipe for target 'install-binPROGRAMS' failed
make[1]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/build/src/98_main'
Makefile:3726: recipe for target 'install-am' failed
make: *** [install-am] Error 2

Is it a problem?
How to solve it?

make install should be executed in /home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/build/src.
You may need to use `sudo make install` if the executables and other files are installed in directories
for which you need root privileges (this is the usual case if you haven't specified the installation directory with configure --prefix=DIRPATH)

Thank you sir. At the same time I apologize for taking lot of your time.

After I went to abinit8.0.8/build/src I typed sudo make install.

But it is showing the following error.

use netcdf
1
Fatal Error: Can't open module file ‘netcdf.mod’ for reading at (1): No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Makefile:922: recipe for target 'm_errors.o' failed
make[1]: *** [m_errors.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nissar/Documents/Program/abinit-8.0.8/build/src/16_hideleave'
Makefile:930: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

How to solve it?

Just install NetCDF on your computer and make sure you have the Fortran module. It should be in /usr/include after installation.
