alexp 5/16/17 gfortran in the debathena-trusty release was used. Unpack qe-6.1.tar.gz in install location /mit/espresso_v6.1/$ATHENA_SYS. Unpack qe-6.1-examples.tar.gz and qe-6.1-test-suite.tar.gz at /mit/espresso_v6.1/$ATHENA_SYS/qe-6.1 At top level, run ./configure --enable-parallel --enable-openmp --enable-environment make all The quick tests are apparently no longer supplied, contradicting information in the manual. However the examples can be run, i.e: cd /mit/espresso_v6.1/amd64_ubuntu1404/qe-6.1/Examples/PW/example01 ./run_example Edit $ATHENA_SYS/qe-6.1/environment_variables, setting BIN_DIR, PSEUDO_DIR, TMP_DIR appropriately for installation location; also put code for this in .attachrc and .attachrc.bash; put /mit/espresso_v6.1/$ATHENA_SYS/qe-6.1/bin and /mit/espresso_v6.1/$ATHENA_SYS/qe-6.1/PWgui-6.1 on path, attach xcrysden and put xcrysden on path. To run pwgui the iwidgets4 Ubuntu package must be installed. To run pw.x in parallel: mpirun -np 4 pw.x file.in > file.out Note: the xcrysden setup relies on files conf.sh and conf.csh in the current xcrysden locker. These are the same as the .attachrc.bash and .attachrc files in that locker, with the cookie-related actions and echo messages sent at the end removed.
