VASP.6.1.2 compilation error

#1 Post by gohar_manukyan » Thu Nov 26, 2020 10:44 am

Dear users and admins of VASP,

I've trying to find solution for the following problem: I am installing VASP.6.1.2 on the instance of the virtual cluster. I have made the necessary changes to the "makefile.include" file of vasp.6.1.2_patched. To compile VASP, when I execute following command in "~/vasp.6.1.2_patched/":

Code: Select all

[root@hpc-master vasp.6.1.2_patched]# make std gam ncl
I got a problem. How can I fix it?

Code: Select all

if [ ! -d build/std ] ; then mkdir build/std  ; fi; \
cp src/makefile src/.objects makefile.include build/std ; \
make -C build/std VERSION=std all

My gfortran and gcc versions are high:

I tried to lower gfortran version 8.3.0 to gfortran version 7.3.0 on the system Centos 7 to solve the VASP.6.1.2 compilation problem. But OpenHPC uses gcc version 8.3.0 and has a number of package dependencies. Now I need to solve the VASP.6.1.2 compilation error. How can I solve it?

Many thanks for your help!



Best regards,
Gohar

At the moment VASP doesn't work on the latest gfortran versions due to some changes in the standard that conflict with some critical parts of the code. This issue is adressed and will be solved in a future update.

At the moment there is no work around as of using gfortran 7.x versions or go to another compiler (intel or pgi).
