Dear collegues,

I`ve installed NWChem 6.6 from ubuntu 16.04 repository. During the test task it fails with the message:


Program received signal SIGILL: Illegal instruction.

Backtrace for this error:
  1. 0 0x7FAFC616EE08
  2. 1 0x7FAFC616DF90
  3. 2 0x7FAFC527849F
  4. 3 0x2D418E0 in mxinit_
  5. 4 0x6635DC in nwchem_banner_

Does anyone met such problem?

The NWChem 6.6 binary from Ubuntu 16.04 repository was compiled for a different x86_64 CPU (probably newer) than the one you are using, therefore it is not compatible.
This is the Debian bug report

Bug fixed in Debian
Hal
The bug has been fixed in the Debian repository.
I am not sure how long it will take to propagate into Ubuntu 16.04
