Can't run scf on water


Click here for full thread
Clicked A Few Times
EDIT: sorry - just googled the topic and discovered the binaries won't work with Lion (10.7).

OBTW, it's probably a good idea to add a note to the binaries download section warning Lion users.

I'll build v 6.1 locally, which should solve the problem.

Cheers,
Don Berry



I installed the mac binaries in /usr/local/nwchem/bin and data, set up ~/.nwchemrc as directed (and added /usr/local/nwchem/bin to my path). Then I ran h2o.nw. The log indicates it set up the job fine, but crashed with a system error at the line "task scf".

The log indicated there was no trouble reading my .nwchemrc file or finding the libraries, etc.

Several other test jobs also crashed at the same point.

I'm running Mac OS 10.7 (Lion), and installed the nwchem 6.0 binaries for MacOS.

I'm attaching the log file I captured, and also this output that only went to my console (sys err).

Thanks for any suggestions.
Don Berry
