problem while downloading abinit package

Post by Mukul.pu02 » Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:23 pm

Respected Abinit Developers and Users,
When i tried to download the abinit package,i finish downloading the incomplete package only everytime.This is happening from the last 2-3 months.
As we know that abinit-6.12.1 version is 56MB,unfortunately i always get only 55.8MB.
When i configure it i end up having problems/error in installation saying missing plugins.I have tried manually adding/downloading from the abinit website.
But this too didn't seems to work.
Thus,please guide me how would i get the complete download of this version?

Sincerely,
M.Mukul

Hi,

the size of the package is exactly 58474634 bytes

if the command :

Code: Select all

tar xzf  abinit-6.12.1.tar.gz


completes without error, is that the package is complete !

concerning the problem with configure, what's exactly the error message ?

regards

jmb

Thank you for the response Sir,
The following is the error i get during configuration on the Cluster :
checking whether to enable the LINALG fallback... no
checking whether to enable the FOX fallback... no
checking whether to enable the NETCDF fallback... yes
checking for a source tarball of NETCDF... no
configure: downloading NETCDF - this may take a while
configure: downloading NETCDF - this may take a while
configure: error: could not download NETCDF fallback tarball
Disable support for NETCDF or download the tarball manually to
/home/surya/.abinit/tarballs
configure: error: ./configure failed for fallbacks

Then i tried manually getting these plugins via :
wget http://archives.abinit.org/plugins/netcdf-4.1.1.tar.gz
The error is as follows:
--17:30:05-- http://archives.abinit.org/plugins/netcdf-4.1.1.tar.gz
Resolving archives.abinit.org... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.

Please give some suggestions.
waiting for your reply
Regards,
M.Mukul

the link is correct
and, as you see, this a "temporary failure" with DNS...
