Segmentation fault for KSS run

Post by bob » Mon Oct 11, 2010 8:49 am

Hi people,

I have done SCF calculations for a molecule that has 76 occupied energy levels. For further calculations that I plan to do using yambo, I wanted abinit to write information about 500 bands into the KSS file. However, that fails with a segmentation fault apparently while writing the KSS file. For smaller number of bands (100) it runs without trouble.

Is this a memory issue?

No way of knowing without some real information (you don't even mention how much memory you have!)
