Hi. I've been following the procedure as quoted many times on here:
Suggested process to compile and run NWchem on Windows 8.1
1. Download NWchem from http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Download
2. Download MinGW from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ . Install the Basic Setup, and from All Packages, install pthreads-w32 as well as MSYS.
3. Download and install MPICH2 from http://www.mpich.org/static/tarballs/1.4.1p1/mpich2-1.4.1p1-win-ia32.msi .
4. Assuming your MinGW installation is in the C drive, go to C:/MinGW/msys/1.0 and open msys.bat. The first time you open this application, it will create a folder C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/<user_name>. Unpack the NWchem download inside this folder. If necessary, shorten the name of the NWchem folder to nwchem-6.6.
5. Cut and paste the MPICH2 folder also inside the folder C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/<user_name>.
6. Inside the msys console, enter the following command to add the path of MinGW to the PATH environment variable:
export PATH=/c/MinGW/bin:$PATH
7. Inside the msys console, enter the following commands
Erm sorry stupid question but how do I generate the log in msys? I ran the command as suggested and it generated several hundred lines of code which finished with the same error as before (see above post).
