Dear WIEN2k users and developers,<br><br>
I have been trying different things for three weeks now, and I am
definitely unable to run moderately big cases in a linux cluster so,
before giving up, I just send as many details as possible, in the hope
that anyone can offer help or any suggestion. <br><br>
I am able to run calculations for simple cases (bulk AlN in wurtzite
phase) but, as soon as I go to a moderately big supercell (35 atoms), I
obtain a "segmentation fault" error immediately after trying to
run lapw0 (using lapw0 lapw0.def). I know this topic has been discussed
several times in the mailing lists: I have read all the mails about this
topic since 2002, and tried all the possible solutions without
success.<br><br>
The details of the operating system and compiler are:<br><br>
The OS is Redhat 9 (glibc 2.3.2)<br>
The fortran compiler is Intel Fortran 8.0, version
l_fc_pc_8.0.039_pe044.1 (20040318)<br>
The flags I have tried are: -FR -mp -w -O2 -xNW -ip, <br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier">-FR -mp -w -O3 -ip,<br><br>
</font>and MKL version 6.0 is being used.<br><br>
I am not using the w2web interface, i.e., I just run the initialization
by typing instgen and then init_lapw. Then I try to run lapw0 with
"x lapw0 -d" and "lapw0 lapw0.def". Then I get a
segmentation fault after just a couple of seconds. I'm guessing the
compiler or MKL might be suspect for the errors.<br><br>
The memory parameters of the system where the code is running are as
follows:<br><br>

Everything regarding available memory, stacksize, swap space and the like
seems to be fine. I am sending the compile.msg for the lapw0 code and the
structure file I am using (could anyone just run the initialization and a
single SCF cycle with this file to check that everything is right? I am
almost 99% sure that this is not the problem, but just in case
...).<br><br>
I should like to know if you believe that it is worthy to go on trying
variations of the compiler/linking options. I really do not know what to
do: I am afraid this goes much beyond my very limited compiling
skills!!!<br><br>
Thanks in advance for your help</body>
