> I used ifort8.1 and MKL7.1 with gcc compiler and during installation no error was found. The example of TiC introduced in manual was calculated correctely. 

We highly recommend upgrade to ifort 9, since ifort8 is known to be very
buggy.

Provided you have set your "limits" to unlimited (there are many discussions
about that in the mailinglist), the TiC222 error in lapw0 (segmentation 
fault) could be due to your compiler.

The problem in HfO2 is in the file HfO60902.clmval
It seems, it has not been written correctly. Inspect the file in an editor.
any ***** or other unexpected characters ?
Hard to say where it comes from. Could be a NFS problem ? ???

Regards
