I have compiled vasp on a Linux- P4-cluster running on RedHat9.0, IFC-7.0 with mpiifc for parallel version. but when I run it as

mpirun -np 6 vasp

Error reading item 'IMAGES' from file INCAR.

MPI_Recv: process in local group is dead (rank 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD)
Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): Call stack within LAM:
Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): - MPI_Recv()
Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): - MPI_Barrier()
Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): - main()

But when I run it as a single node job then it is running fine.
mpirun -np 1 vasp

It will be great if someone can suppy me with the Makefile for this platform.
please help me. Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for help.

See my reply to above thread. I suppose this is not a matter of compilation but nfs.

The most common reason for that error is that there is something wrong with the INCAR file: the errors might be
1) is is not located in the working directory
2) there are some hidden characters which cause a read error during execution
time (less probable)
