#make install # do it manually

Test

  • The following two tests yield errors. The official binary package also has the same problem. Results from our build and official binary are consistent.
    • hamiltonian.test: returns error upon finishing the job. Output values seem to be OK.
    • loc_eom3.test: numerical error happens.

Note

  • Intel MPI version is more stable than Open MPI version in terms of number of failed tests.
    • Open MPI version failed on some more tests, and some errors happen upon finishing the job. In most cases, the outputted values (energies) are correct, though.
