Hi,

I tried running NW Chem job on the attached input file, but I endup with the error message pasted below.

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI COMMUNICATOR 3 DUP FROM 0
with errorcode 200003.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.




Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code.. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.




mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

 Process name: [[16565,1],0]
Exit code: 67

Thanks in advance.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Gets Around
When you get this sort of error try turning off autoz using 'noautoz' in the geometry block.

Hi Mernst,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, after editing the .nw (input file), job ran like a charm.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am returning to this old post, because I hit the same error using the test input
on NWChem github, https://github.com/nwchemgit/nwchem/wiki/Sample#job-1-single-point-scf-energy

Adding the 'noautoz' keyword helped. Maybe it would be good to adjust this example input.

Miro,
Could you please post the geometry that resulted in this problem?
I am asking this question since the input file with the wiki should work without noautoz.
If noautoz is required, instead, it's likely that there are issues with the NWChem installation.
Thanks
