an error during initialization

Concerns any physical issues arising during the setup step (-i option). This includes problems with symmetries, k/q-point sets, and so on. For technical problems (running in parallel, etc), refer to the Technical forum.

Dear Zaabar,
in order to spot the problem we need to reproduce your error.
Can you post your QE input files?

Best,

Daniele

DearZabaar,
We will try to reproduce your error,
I assume you are using the last release of the code.

Best,

Daniele

Dear Daniele Varsano
thanks for you help,I found the same error with the following three versions:
yambo-4.1.2
yambo-4.1.3
yambo-4.1.5
I configured them using the following command line: ./configure FC = ifort PFC = mpif90 --enable-open-mp --with-iotk-libdir = / local / funsilab / karim / espresso-5.2.0 / iotk / src --with-iotk-includedir = / local / funsilab / karim /espresso-5.2.0 / iotk / src

Dear Foudil,
I have just made a try with your input file using the last yambo version ( GPL Version 4.3.0 Revision 129.) and I could not find any problem in doing the setup.
I strongly suggest you to update to a new release of the code also because older version as such you are using are not supported anymore.
Best,
Daniele

Dear Daniele Varsano

I performed the previous calculations (date.save) on my computer, they work well, during the installation of yambo code within our cluster, using the following command line:
./configure FC = ifort PFC = mpif90 --enable-open-mp --with-iotk-libdir = / local / funsilab / karim / qe-6.3 / iotk / src --with-iotk-includedir = / local / funsilab /karim/qe-6.3/iotk/src --enable-netcdf-LFS

I encountered the following problem:
usr / local / intel / composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293 / compiler / lib / intel64 / libimf.so: warning: warning: firewall is not implemented and will always fail

after a search in intel forum, I concluded that I must link between the two math libraries of the intel "libimf " and that of the system "libm".
my question is how to link between them!

Dear zaabar,
unfortunately, I cannot help you much with that, this is a problem of the configuration of your compilers and not of yambo.
Anyway, this is a warning, does it prevent your compilation?
Maybe you can have a look at this thread:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums ... pic/267925

They suggest adding the flag -i_dynamic (you can try FCFLAGS=-i_dynamic) or you can try linking mkl libraries:

MKL_PATH="$path/mkl/lib/intel64"
--with-blas-libs="-L$MKL_PATH -lmkl_core -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential" \
--with-lapack-libs="-L$MKL_PATH -lmkl_core -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential" \

Best,
Daniele
