cannot access core database

Post by zchen » Thu Nov 18, 2010 6:42 pm

Hi all:
I have a question about running yambo. There is no problem to run yambo interactively. If I submit a job I got error message
yambo: cannot access CORE database (SAVE/*db1 or SAVE/*wf).
In the job script I specify (ignore some lines)

myPROG=/home/staff/zchen/software/yambo/yambo-3.2.3-rev.11/bin/yambo
$myPROG<yambo.in>&out.txt

I used this in another computer it works perfect. However, this machine give me the error message. I checked SAVE directory I have the read and write permission for files of ns.db1 and ns.wf.

Yambo is not like PW. To use a certain input file use

Code: Select all

>yambo  -F <input>
the log of yambo is stored in a l_* file by using

Code: Select all

> yambo >& /dev/null
To see the reason why yambo cannot see any SAVE put a >ls in your script to check if your working dir is the one containing the SAVE.
