[Wien] SLURM cluster issues

Hi,

I am trying to set up WIEN2k ver 23.2 to run on a SLURM cluster. I have gotten it to work with SCALAPACK, runnning with a slurm batch submission script through w2web by following the examples.

I have two issues.

  1.  Is it possible to make the "x dstart" button in the initialize web interface submit its job with a script like is possible for running SCF? Right now, it runs on the w2web node, and I can't use a preexisting .machines file because all jobs are submitted through SLURM so the .machines needs to be generated on the fly.
  2.  I cannot seem to get ELPA to work. It compiles fine and passes the ELPA make check tests. However, when I try to run the TiC example in the usersguide, I always get an error. I have a feeling that ELPA is not using the correct kernel-is there a way to specify that though WIEN2k, or should I set a default ELPA kernel through ELPA ./configure?

Here is a link to a zip file with what I hope are the relevant files: https://tulane.box.com/s/ozohfwe0xyoipb8jzxeh3ec15imq1eam. My email got blocked when I attached them directly.

Thank you for your help!

Daniel
