Dear all,
I am trying to do a tddft optimization. I took the Pyridine example from here -
https://nwchemgit.github.io/Excited-State-Calculations.html. I am getting some error. I attached my output file.


with regards,
Bikash.

This is likely to be caused by an incorrect choice of the BLAS libraries during the NWChem installation

Do you have access to the settings used for the NWChem installation you are using?

The following settings are used to install nwchem -

export TCGRSH=/usr/bin/ssh
export NWCHEM_TOP=/apps/scratch/compile/anand/nwchem-6.8-source
export NWCHEM_TARGET=LINUX64
export NWCHEM_MODULES="all python venus"
export LARGE_FILES=TRUE

export IB_INCLUDE=/usr/include
export IB_LIB=/usr/lib64
export IB_LIB_NAME="-libumad -libverbs -lpthread"
export MSG_COMMS=MPI
export USE_MPI=y
export USE_MPIF=y
export USE_MPIF4=y
export MPI_LOC=/apps/compilers/intel-2018u3/impi/2018.3.222/intel64

export PYTHONHOME=/usr
export PYTHONVERSION=2.7

export PYTHONLIBTYPE=so
export HAS_BLAS=yes
export BLAS_SIZE=4
export BLASOPT="-L$MKLLIB -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_core -lmkl_sequential -lpthread -lm"
export LAPACK_LIBS="-L$MKLLIB -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_core -lmkl_sequential -lpthread -lm"

export USE_64TO32=y
export MRCC_METHODS= TRUE

source setting.sh
cd src/
make nwchem_config
make FC=ifort >& make.log&
tail -f make.log


Do I need to change something here?


Thanks,

Bikash

I was not able to spot any problem in your settings.
The only issue is that you could have skipped the step
 make 64_to_32

Is this the case? Please do the following

 cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src
 rm -f 64_to_32
 make 64_to_32
 make FC=ifort

Thanks for your reply and suggestion.
Now the calculations are running fine.

Bikash.
