[Wien] k-points parallelization

[stargmoon]

Dear Stefaan,
 
 I am still confused by this question. Now I realize that all WIEN2k scripts are written under c-shell. Our c-shell is tcsh version 6.14.0. I don't know if my problem is caused by the statement wait (I would suppose it is not the reason for my problem), I found that the first processor "lapw2 lapw2_1.def" never finish at all. I try to run "lapw2 lapw2_1.def 1" at different node, and no help. I tried to debug the program, however, the program does not stop with error message and it does not run further, either, just like goes into an infinite loop and no output.
 
 Do you or anybody else have any idea on this?

This reminds me of a tcsh problem (some versions of tcsh have problems
with the 'wait' statement, and indeed wait forever in lapw2). Verify
whether that particular machine has another tcsh than the others. Try to
run the same job but distributed over all machines that are not that
one: does it run now? (i.e.: is your problem connected to a particular
machine, or is it connected to a particular k-point?)
