NEB module trying to read an input file

[Andy Wang]

Dear all,

I tried exactly on this tutorial: https://www.cp2k.org/exercises:2016_uzh_cmest:path_optimization_neb.

However, I kept getting this error:

"The specified OLD file <ethane_neb_aba-r-0.inp> cannot be opened. 

It does not exist."

Also, if I change the RUN_TYPE from BAND to GEO_OPT, then everything worked fine. My understanding is cp2k is trying to generate a temporary file on-the-fly. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance for any insights.
