Dear all

When I compile yambo on our cluster and it failed.
1)firstly, I run configure:
./configure FC=ifort

# [ ] PW (4.0) support

# [ F77 ] ifort -assume bscc -O3 -ip -xHost
# [Cmain] -nofor_main

2) then make all:
make all

>>>[Linking yambo]<<<

What's this problem? How to resolve it?
Thank you very much.

Dear jin

I think this error is due to a wrong configuration of your system,
and it is a general problem with intel compilers.

The solution is discussed here:

Dear Claudio,
Thank you very much.
It works.

Dear all:

I am new to YAMBO and I have not been able to run it.

1. I run configure with
./configure FC=ifort

2. Then make all:
make all

Everything seemed alright. I verified (as suggested in the web site) with

3. ./bin/yambo

and I got: yambo: cannot access CORE database (SAVE/*db1 and/or SAVE/*wf)

So far so good, right?

4. I downloaded the TUTORIALS (specifically GW and lifetimes - Solid_Al) and followed the instructions but I have not been successful. Am I missing something?, should I relocate the SAVE folder?

I would appreciate your help on this!

Dear Rogelio,
Welcome on Yambo. please fill your signature with the affiliation. This is a rule of the forum.

Which is the message Yambo gives you when trying to run? I suspect that the problem is
related to the fact that code database for the tutorial are produced with NETCDF format,
while from your configure command it looks you have not linked the netcdf library.
Even if Yambo can work without them (but you have can't use the core database provided in the tutorial,
you have to generate them using the interfaces to abinit or pw),
it is strongly suggested to install them.
Type ./configure -H and follow the instruction to link them (once they are installed in your machine).
If you are planing to use quantum-espresso (pwscf) for your ground state calculation you will have also
to link the iotk libraries.

Cheers,
Daniele
