read_data.cpp worries

Hello,

I am user of lammps on a linux suse 11.3 system, on a laptop computer.

I installed lammps using "make serial", which seemed to work. However, every time I try to run the software using some example input files, such as in.AuO , in "/examples/Au_O", there is an error message: "error by read_data.cpp : line 1349". It seems that the file could not be opened, since the pointer produced from "fopen" is set to NULL, which leads to an error thanks to a verification loop in this function in the file "read_data.cpp".

I proofed if the the file was locked and set it free, through "chmod u+rwx in.AuO". But it did not change anything.

Do you have an idea about how to fix this problem?

thanks
kind regards,

Adrien Minière

Are you running from the directory where both the input
script and data file are?

sorry, but i cannot reproduce this (and obviously people
would notice, if such basic functionality is gone).

can you please give more specifics (which version
of LAMMPS, which compiler, did you compile in one
go or had to fix a makefile in between, what calling
sequence to run the input) about how you did the
tests? otherwise, all one can say is, that you must
have done something wrong.

axel.
