Re: BUG - rfgd array must be allocated at rfgd(3,nfgd)! [SOLVED]

Hi Positronner, (not that this is not the correct forum place for this topic) Thanks for pointing us a bug, apparently appeared since a modification of Abinit default behviour related to forces calculations.

Re: Install 9.4.0 in MacOS (Big Sur)

Hi,

This doesn't work?

Code: Select all

brew upgrade abinit
This is strange...
On my MacBook it works.

You could try this

Code: Select all

brew upgrade --force abinit
or, last resort:

Code: Select all

brew uninstall abinit
brew install abinit
This should do the job.

Good luck

Re: homebrew install won't run full test suite option

OK, I was able to reproduce the issue. A new version of the homebrew formula is now available. If you use the bottle, a wrapper to the runtests script will be installed. If you recompile from scratch, you have to use the -with-testsuite option. You'll be able to run the test suite with the 'ABINIT-r...

Re: homebrew install won't run full test suite option

Dear Outerplanets,

To analyse the problem, we need more information :
- how did you install abinit via homebrew (using homebrew-science or the new formula provided on abinit github?)
- what did you exactly type to lauch the runtests.py script?, from which directory?
- did you use "brew clean abinit"?

Are you sure that you're using abinit-8.0.8 ?
This error message doesn't exist anymore in abinit v8 (and Fox is no more supported).

Hi, You cannot launch the atompaw#02 automatic test alone. It has to be chained with the test atompaw#01 because the latter is suppposed to generate the pseudopotential file. So, instead, launch: ~abinit/tests/runtests.py atompaw[01:02} (see "test_chain = t01.in, t02.in" in atompaw/Input/t...

The electron-positron was not fully comptaible with paral_kgb=1 in the 7.8 version.

Also the pawstgylm=0 keyword was buggy, if A remember correctly; I think it;'s corrected now but you should try without it.
