Dear Yves,

I encountered the same problem on an IBM Power5 machine

../configure FCFLAGS_XMLF90="-bmaxstack:250000000 -bmaxdata:2000000000" FCFLAGS="-bmaxstack:250000000 -bmaxdata:2000000000"
make

seems to solve the problem

Best,

Dear Abinit users,

I know my problem is known on IBM AIX Power 4 computer, however I looked at
the FAQ and did not found a satisfactory answer.

I just compiled the 5.2.4 abinit version" on an IBM AIX Power 4 computer.
I try to run it (abinis) and get the error message below:



================================================================================
P This job should need less than 1339.190 Mbytes of memory.
Rough estimation (10% accuracy) of disk space for files :
WF disk file : 1056.679 Mbytes ; DEN or POT disk file : 10.127 Mbytes.
================================================================================

Biggest array : cg(disk), with 1056.6790 MBytes.

memana : ERROR -

It is not worth to continue
Action : modify input variable to fit the available memory,
or increase limit on maximal array size.

leave_new : decision taken to exit ...

________________________________________________________________________



I tried the option -bmxdata:2048000000 as described in the FAQ but whith no
success. However, the makefile has largely been modify since the answer of
the FAQ has been written. May be did I include it in a wrong place.

Does somebody could help me please ?

Thank tou very much


Yves Ferro
