a2y conversion

Post by giacsport » Tue Oct 13, 2009 9:36 am

Dear Moderator.
I am completely new with YAMBO so please excuse me ignorance in advance...

I am trying to use the a2y in order to transform the abinit format in yambo format in the 3D_LiF/Abinit directory, but once I execute the command

localhost:Abinit>a2y -F LiF_out_DS2_KSS

I get


____ ____ ___ .___ ___. .______ ______
\ \ / / / \ | \/ | | _ \ / __ \
\ \/ / / ^ \ | \ / | | |_) | | | | |
\_ _/ / /_\ \ | |\/| | | _ < | | | |
| | / _____ \ | | | | | |_) | | `--" |
|__| /__/ \__\ |__| |__| |______/ \______/

<---> [01] A(binit) 2 Y(ambo)
<---> Checking input file ...failed

... my question is: must Also Abinit be installed with YAMBO?

(Compilation of Yambo with NETCDF seems to be OK)


Thanks in advance,
G

Dear Giacsport,

Did you run Abinit in order to generate the KSS file before running a2y ? If you need more informations about how to generate the KSS file please read here.

P.S.: Please include your full name and affiliation in your signature. THANKS !
