ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear all,
I have a problem to build abinit with NetCDF.
I am compiling the version 7.8.2.
The configuration works fine and complation seems ok but at running time I have a crash:
--- !ERROR
message: |
Netcdf Error while closing the OUT.nc file: NetCDF: Not a valid ID
src_file: outvars.F90
src_line: 359
...

I compared file outvars.F90 to older 7.3.1 version file and they are different:
some preprocessor directive conscerning HAVE_TRIO_NETCDF HAVE_TRIO_ETSF_IO

(Test and configuration work very well with 7.3.1 version).

There is a problem or I made a wrong configuration?

Thanks.
Best regard,
Marco

NB: I put here my configuration file

Hi,

I'm not completely sure why you have this message but I would suggest to recompile abinit with both NetCDF and ETSF_IO.
I am pretty convinced it will fix you problem.

Cheers

NetCDF without ETSF_IO does not currently work in Abinit, due to a developer having left unfinished and untested work in the source code. They always should be used together to guarantee the stability and reliability of file I/O.

In any case, a rewrite will occur in Abinit 8 that will fix this issue once and for all.

Hello Jordan and Yann,
thanks a lot for your rapid reply.
Best regards,
Marco
