Hello,  I generated the binaries using the "configure" and "make install" commands on my amd-opteron-ubuntu-gfortran system. When I run the "make check" command it clears the five tests but gives the error in "~/abinit-5.6.4/tests/tutorespfn/Refs/trf2_7.out" after testing a lots of ".out" files.  Can I still use the executables in "~/abinit-5.6.4/src/main/" directory. Or can I remove this error. Kindly help. Kind regards, Vikas Sharma, Research Scholar, Physics Department, IIT Delhi, New Delhi-16, India.

 Are you sure
 the calculation finished? The pdos needs a lot of memory (which is a function of cutoff too) and it may have segfaulted. Can you run it in a debugger? You can also try to reduce the number of atoms the pdos is calculated for even further. Check the estimation of memory in the output (I am not sure the estimation is accurate though, for the pdos case).

Dear All, 
I found a strange problem in PDOS calculation.  I started with a trial 
calculation with a very low value of nstep and cutoff. It was done properly, 
DOS file was printed. But when I performed calculation again with higher nestep 
and cutoff, the calculation finished without DOS files printed. 
at the end of  the log file there is a message: 
  ioarr: writing density data 
 ioarr: file name is PDOSAlCNT1xo_DS2_DEN
