[Pw_forum] Quantum Espresso installed, but examples not running

[Eyvaz Isaev]

Hi,

Usually "Segmentation fault" tells about insufficient memory problem, but it 
might be due to a compiler/lib error. I can start pw.x on my  Ubuntu 10.04 (in 
fact, Debian-based, and quite buggy) with gfortran.

Bests,
Eyvaz.

Subject: [Pw_forum] Quantum Espresso installed, but examples not running

I hope I came to the right place to ask this question. I have compiled quantum 
espresso using this set of instructions:
http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_install_PWscf_on_a_Debian_or_Debian_based_operating_system


I made two modifications to these instructions:
	1. I installed version 4.2.1 and put the folder together using these 
instructions:http://qe-forge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=64. These 
instructions did not say anything about "PLUMED" plugin so I did not download 
it.
	2. I have gfortran installed so I did not do the first part of the instructions 
(although I later tried to install g95 using the link provided and it kept 
saying "authentication failed")

I have openmpi installed but I only have one cpu at the moment (I intend to set 
up a network later.) 

Everything seemed to work ok so I tried to run one of the examples. I got this:


/opt/espresso-4.2.1/examples/example08 : starting

This example shows how to use pw.x to calculate the DOS of Ni.

---------rest of email continues here----------

Similar messages come up for other examples. Could someone please tell me what 
is going on? And--yes I read the user manual instructions (and yes chapter 2). 
If there is a pointer in there I missed please tell me.
