[Wien] Problem with x w2w -so -up (wien2wannier)

[Wen Fong Goh]

Hi Elias, thank you for your feedback. I will try the beta version and get back to you (I need some time due to privilege issues). Mean while, I found out that it works well in the older wien2k version (14).

Dear Wen Fong Goh,

Sorry for the delayed reply, and thank you for the report both here
and on GitHub.  Since this problem has become a recurring issue, I will
continue the discussion here, where more users are likely to see it.

I am not sure if I reproduced your error.  I do get an error in the
situation you describe, but also in the cubic case.  The messages are
different from what you see as well, but that might be compiler-related.

In the tetragonal case, I see

   *** Error in `w2wc': free(): invalid next size (normal):
0x000000000235ed90 ***
   forrtl: severe (67): input statement requires too much data, unit 9,
file W-14.2.vectorsoup
   Image              PC                Routine            Line
Source

   Stack trace terminated abnormally.

In the cubic case instead it is

    *** Error in `w2wc': free(): invalid next size (normal):
0x000000000257c490 ***
    *** Error in `w2wc': free(): invalid next size (normal):
0x00000000025805f0 ***
    Abort

Anyway, those errors happen with the version of wien2wannier included
in Wien2k 14.2, which I assume you are using.  With the current
development version, I get no error.

Could you try the development version and report back if the error is
fixed?  If so, could you also check if the results make sense?  I only
tested if w2wc runs without error.

To do this, go to https://github.com/wien2wannier/wien2wannier and

clone or download the repository (there is a green button for that).
When you have that, go to the wien2wannier directory

$ cd wien2wannier-master

and make and unpack a “dist” tarball

$ make wien-dist
$ tar -xvf wien2wannier-*-wiendist.tar.gz

Now I suggest you copy your original Wien2k directory (below, `wien2k')
and replace it with a copy.  This should ensure that the new
executables will be in your path.

$ cp -r wien2k wien2k-new-w2w
$ mv wien2k wien2k-old
$ ln -s wien2k-new-w2w wien2k
$ cd wien2k-new-w2w

There, overwrite the wien2wannier files and recompile

$ tar -xvf
../wien2wannier-master/wien2wannier-*-wiendist/wien2wannier-*-expand-in-wienroot.tar
$ ../wien2wannier-master/compile_wien2wannier.sh

To make sure that you are running the new versions, you can do

$ ls -ld $(dirname $(which w2w))

though the answers to it are there.
