SODFT tutorial example failure.


Clicked A Few Times
When executing the verbatim SODFT tutorial example with NWChem 6.1, I receive the following errors in the output:

The ARMCI DASSERT error would incline me towards concluding that it's a memory issue, but the basis set errors prior to that are disturbing as well. Why would this provided basis set fail in 6.1?

Optimized Blas
Davis68,
Your error shows an issue that is most likely due to the optimized Blas that are linked with your NWChem executable.
Please follow the instructions in the paragraph "Using optimized math libraries" at the URL

http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Compiling_NWChem

Cheers, Edo

As far as I know, I am not using any optimized BLAS library, just the plain vanilla NWChem routines. (I certainly didn't set any compiler options to link in any BLAS pieces.)

Forum Vet
Can you please provide us your compile and hardware environment. I.e., which environment variables did you set, which compilers were used, and what is the hardware you are running on?

Can you provide me the src/tools/build/config.log too at bert.dejong@pnnl.gov .

Bert
