qe 6.2 and p2y not compatible?

[chwolf]

Dear all,

I recently started using qe 6.2 but I found that the yambo stable and devel shipped with it seems incompatible, more precisely the p2y interface has some troubles with the qe version resulting in a complaint that the data-file xml (in qe 6.2 data-file-schema.xml ?) cannot be found and the version is not listed:

Code: Select all

hBN_2D.save$ ~/Downloads/qe-6.2/yambo-devel/bin/p2y

I wonder if this is the current state or if I did something wrong during compilation? ;(

Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear Chris,
most probably there is a problem with the configuration. Can you try with a yambo version downloaded from the Yambo repository?
You can follow the instructions reported here:
http://www.yambo-code.org/download/index.php

We will have a look at the problem you pointed out in the qe repository. Thanks for reporting.

Best,
Daniele

Hi Chris,

Currently, QE-6.2 downloads yambo 4.1.3 as yambo-devel. Unless you compile QE with the flag -D__OLDXML, Yambo won't be compatible, as you observe.
Yambo v4.2 is instead compatible with QE >= 6.2, and should be used if you want to use the new xml schema fmt.

While the automatic download of QE is being fixed, in order to directly interface with QE >= 6.2 the easiest way is to download Y 4.2.1
(eg https://github.com/yambo-code/yambo/arc ... 2.1.tar.gz) and compile it using the configure flag

Code: Select all

--with-p2y-version=qexsd

take care
Andrea

Dear Chris,

further to my previous email, we have upgraded the version of Yambo downloaded by QE (including qe-6.2) to yambo v4.2.1,
for both "yambo" and "yambo-devel" targets.
If you start the process of compiling yambo via QE, it should now work for qe-6.2 .
(do not forget to do a make distclean before recompiling yambo).
Both

Code: Select all

make yambo

and

Code: Select all

make yambo-devel

would do

cheers

Works great now!
