Having trouble compiling the Yambo source? Using an unusual architecture? Problems with the "configure" script? Problems in GPU architectures? This is the place to look.

Forum rules
If you have trouble compiling Yambo, please make sure to list:
(1) the compiler (vendor and release: e.g. intel 10.1)
(2) the architecture (e.g. 64-bit IBM SP5)
(3) if the problems occur compiling in serial/in parallel
(4) the version of Yambo (revision number/major release version)
(5) the relevant compiler error message

Dear users, in order to help the Yambo team to better organize this forum please try respect some simple rules:
  1. 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.
  2. Sign your posts with your complete name and affiliation.
  3. 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.
