My Community

HI;

I am trying to compile and have been struck by the error

make: execvp: /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/bin/ia32: Permission denied
make: *** [vasp] Error 127

I use openmpi, ifort and system optimised BLAS.

Any pointers would be appreciated......

First off all, is your system 32 bits ? Once vasp is a heavy program, it useless to make it a 32 bit executable, once some times 10 g is a poor memory, i cant imagine what can u do in 32 bits once it doesn't use more then 4 Gigas of ram.
After you have a 64 bits operating system if your compiling something out of your home directory, you should compile as root user, or if you have extracted the file in your home as root user, delete it, extract it as normal user and them compile. I suggest compile it as a root in other place like /opt or /usr/local to give right to all the other users to run the program.

yes thanks;
I am trying to install VASP on my desktop to run the tutorials etc..
It is a a 32 bit for some reason..

maybe your administrator disabled it for some reason?

Hello again;

I still have the same error on 64 bit; VASP has been compiled as root and I am installing as root.

make: execvp: /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/bin/intel64: Permission denied
make: *** [base.o] Error 127

Type

ls -l /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/bin/intel64

on a prompt and post the answer.

and the error is the same

make: *** [vasp] Error 127

Thanks

Well, now I got it. ;-)
The compiler is named "ifort" and you are trying to execute the folder. Just add "/ifort" at the proper position in the makefile or setup a module environment for ifort. Then no complete path would be necessary.
Be careful at linking: You might mix 32 and 64 bit libraries easily.

Cheers

please ask your sys admin to set the execution rights for using the compiler correctly if you want to compile sth without being the superuser.
