I have compiled VASP in parallel mode.

The last line to create is:

But when I am running vasp:

I am getting the error:
vasp: error while loading shared libraries: libsvml.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But I have in vasp.4.6 directory.

Any help will be highly welcome.

Bandy,

Which compiler are you using?
I myself use the intel 9.0 for Linux, which has this library in: Thus libsvml.so is not in the vasp directory. To get this work, I have
in the Makefile: Futhermore, you need to either get his directory included in your
library path with ldconfig, or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that
directory.

Does that help?

Rob.

please use one of the standard makefiles and load either with
-L./svml (libsvml.a)
or
./libsvml.so (libsvml.so)
please check if the path to this library (./) and the file execution permissions really are correct.

Thanks a lot. I am using linux-rhel3_AS-ia32/intel-ifort8-8.1-028.
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in .cshrc and LINK = -L/linux-rhel3_AS-ia32/intel-icc8-8.1-032/lib -lsvml in MAKEFILE, it created working executable.

I am facing a strange problem regarding execution of parallel vasp. I ran interactively successfully 1-2 times, often I failed to do that. Because of improper setting of environment variables, can anybody give me pbs script to run vasp parallelized with lam-mpi.

Thanks

Your PBS script will need to include the relevant setenv lines you have in your .cshrc

Running lam-mpi jobs is relatively easy under PBS (we have PBSPro 7.1)
The key lines you need are:

#PBS -l select=16:ncpus=1
##(16nodes x 1cpu each)

#PBS -l place=scatter
## (spread 'em across cluster)

/usr/pbs/bin/pbs_lamboot
##Gotta start the LAM universe first ... PBS will decide which nodes
##in fact it creates the lamnodes file itself

/usr/pbs/bin/pbs_mpilam -np 16 /path/to/your/code/executable

You might need to tweak these a little bit to suit.
Don't forget the other #PBS directives for retaining output, mailing your, etc etc.
