Dear users, in order to help the Yambo team to better organize this forum please try respect some simple rules:

Do not include long text (report/log files) in your post. Instead add the ".txt" extension or zip all of them in a single file and add it/them as attachments. Also "pdf" files are allowed.
Sign your posts with your complete name and affiliation.
Check for the most appropriate subforum

When you want to report a code problem (seg. fault or similar) please do prepare and attach to your post a tar-ball including

The input file(s)
The report file (r_*) generated in the run the produces the error
The log file (l_*) or a capture of the standard log of the run the produces the error
The files "config/setup" and "config/report" that you can find in the directory where the code has been compiled
The file "l_dbs" obtained by typing
Code: Select all
```
> yambo -D >& /dev/null
```
The file "LIST_log" obtained by typing
Code: Select all
```
> ls -lsrtR > LIST_log
```

Without all these informations it is almost impossible for us to trace back any problem of the code.

To be 100% sure that we will find the problem we need to reproduce it. Therefore, try to reproduce the error in a small calculation and provide the Yambo databases (in NETCDF format) and/or the ground state input file.
