[Pw_forum] xcrysden failure

[Winfred Mulwa]

Dear all,
I have installed xcrysden 1.5.24 in my laptop, but when i try to visualize
a cell, it gives an error in startup script: couldn't change working
directory to
"Documents/xc_6882": no such file or directory. Please advice me what might
be the problem?

The cause is a very improper definition of XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH
environmental variable. Simplest way to fix the problem is to unset it
(then the /tmp will be used instead).

Please consider asking next time such question to xcrysden mailing list.
