ABINIT Discussion Forums

I have compiled abinit 5.8.3 with openf90, for the first time. Something strange happens. Compilation proceeds ok, and
all of the tests I have tried (v1, v2 etc) run ok, via make tests_xx in the tests directory.

However, when I simply try to run abinis on some other calculation, via
abinis <stuff.files >stuff.log
the program starts ok, but consistently segfaults after 4096 bytes of the log file have been written!
I have tried some of the test inputs in the same way with the same result.

There are no such problems on my system with Intel or gfortran builds.

Any idea what's happening?

Dear Ian,

Not a direct a direct answer to your mail, but some relevant information :
nearly one year ago, we made a big effort to test
ABINIT + plugins (BigDFT, ETSF-IO, LibXC, Wannier90) on nearly all the available Fortran
compilers for Intel/XEON/AMD platforms, and several other platforms (Itanium, IBM, MacOSX).
The goal was to have all automatic tests working correctly.
We succeeded to do this for Intel Fortran compiler, GFort, G95, Pathscale, as well as XLF,
but not for Open64, PGI, and some other compiler (I am not sure which one).
Because we tried hard, and ABINIT works well on 5 compilers
we tend to believe that there were bugs in Open64 and PGI.

I do not remember whether the problems encountered with these compilers were the same
as yours.

Best,
X

What was the Open64 version used? There is a new open64 version-4.2.3.1 available at
http://developer.amd.com/cpu/open64/pages/default.aspx
Have you tried that and still having issues?

You may want to post issues you are facing at

and get quicker response from the Open64 team at AMD.


I have cross posted this issue on the AMD Open64 forums, to get you appropriate help. The link is:

Hello,

if your tests run ok, then abinit is fine. Try



from the command line: I suspect that there is an old and/or bad abinis in your path which is not the one you compiled.
Also, we need the 4096 bytes of log to get an idea

Further run:
