ABINIT Discussion Forums

Hi,
I installed abinit v.7 [/b]for the first time. No error during ./configure and make process. OS: OpenSuse 12.1 32b
Environment settings:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/abinit-7.0.5/src/98_main
export PATH
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using the first two files from /usr/local/abinit-7.0.5/tests/tutorial/Input: tbase1.in and tbase.2.in, tbase1_x. and tbase2_x.files
I changed the two first lines of tbase1_x and the elimination of one "../" in the last line.
Running abinit I get the following message (for both, tbase1 and tbase2:

isfile.F90:90:ERROR
Checks for existence of file ../tbase2_1.in
but INQUIRE finds file does not exist. Action : check file name and re-run.

Give name for formatted input file:

Well, as the error message says, it is trying to find file tbase_1.in at location "..", that is, one directory above the current working directory. Is that file at the location? Typically, the input file to abinit (the file of file names) looks like:

gs.in
gs.out
gsi
gso
gs
pseudo_file_1
pseudo_file_2
....

where gs.in is the input file, and exists in the current working directory.
