[Pw_forum] Compatibility between XCrySDen and Quantum ESPRESSO

[Izaak Williamson]

Thanks for all the responses. I guess it was my outdated version of XCrySDen 
that was causing the problem.

I downloaded this version and used ./xcConfigure to configure the program. 
Because my previous version was still installed, I had to manually put the 
following lines into my .bashrc file:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# this is for XCRYSDEN 1.5.24; added by XCRYSDEN installation on
# Mon Jun 20 16:22:44 PDT 2011
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR=/home/Izaak/XCrySDen/XCrySDen-1.5.24-bin-semishared
XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH=/home/Izaak/xcrys-tmp/
export XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH
PATH="$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR:$PATH:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/scripts:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/util"

After using the command ". ~/.bashrc" to source it, I try running xcrysden and 
this is what is produced:

./xcrysden: line 224: 
/home/Izaak/XCrySDen/XCrySDen-1.5.24-bin-semishared/bin/xcrys: cannot execute 
binary file

What does this error mean? What can I do to correct this? Also, I tried 
compiling XCrySDen-1.5.24-bin-shared but the same error occurred.

Thanks
