en,en i have set the absolute path XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH. but the error stills is the problem of pre-compile ? i found the errors are the same whether i run the ./xcconfire or not (directly run xcrysden after tar xf the package). the bashrc : ulimit -s unlimited export PATH=~/bin/:$PATH alias q=qstat # # this is for XCRYSDEN pre1.5b; added by XCRYSDEN installation on # Fri Oct 10 09:32:28 UTC 2008 # XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR=/disk2/jdong/xyh/XCrySDen-pre1.5bbin-static XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH=/disk2/jdong/xyh/xcrys_tmp export XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH PATH="$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR:$PATH:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/scripts:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/util" 2008/10/10 Tone Kokalj > On Fri, 2008-10-10 at 10:44 +0800, xu yuehua wrote: > > hi everyone here: > > i have installed the xcrysden (XCrySDen-pre1.5bbin-static) to linux > > system .and when I ran xcrysden, the > > graphic interface can appear, but could open any file ,when i open > > some file ,the error message is below "error couldn't change working > > directory to "Y/xc_23632": no such file or directory" > > AND i found out the Y directory is generated automatically in the > > directory where the software is running . > > You have specified relative pathname for XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH.

This is very awkward! Wait, both Y and xcrys_tmp seems like a relative paths. From which dirrectory you executed "ls" command? What about the owenrship of scratch directory. On onw machine it is jdongh:phys on the other xyh:xyh. Note that each user should create its own scratch directory.

You have specified relative pathname for XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH. A very bad idea. Thatwhy the "Y" directory is created in current directory.
