[Wien] pairhess in v9.1 and v8.3. [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Mon May 4 04:29:40 CEST 2009

Hi, 
A few weeks ago, I had experienced the same problem (empty *.inM file) 
with my exercise on Mg2SiO4 spinel (227, Fd-3m) using Wien2k 9.1 (Ubuntu 
8.04, ifc 10.1.and mkl 10.1). In addition to an empty *.inM file, the 
pairhess eror file says "  'PairHe' - Error, structure does not appear to 
have variable positions!". 

After seeing this email, I made the change in SRC_pairhess directory as 
suggested, then I ran the "min. positions" again, w2web gives the error 
message" 
"System Error
Can't read file //home/bli/my_w2k/Mg2SiO4-g/Mg2SiO4-g.inM.""
Is there something wrong with my compilation or this is still bug related? 

Thank you for your help.

I do not quite understand why this problem appears only in version 09.1 
and
not in 08.3; but I found the problem (which should also be present in 
earlier
versions):

Please edit $WIENROOT/SRC_pairhess/params.inc   and replace the line:

        parameter (nsymm=48)
by
        parameter (nsymm=48*4)

Recompile  (make; cp pairhess ..). This fixes the problem.
