Error messages - convcheck failed

[pablonanzo]

Hello,
I am new to turbomole. I am doing COSMO calculations, and although the output files being generated seem to converge okay, the 'not.converged' file is present and I am getting the following error messages after running jobex:

I would be grateful for any help to resolve this issue!

Many thanks

Hi,

this must be an older Turbomole version...

Please replace the script convgrep in $TURBODIR/scripts by the one on the ftp server:

ftp.chemie.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/tools

Hi uwe,

Thanks for your reply. I tried to access the link but it seems to be dead. Could you please check that it is correct?

Also, does this mean that there is not a problem with my calculations, only a bug in the software?

Many thanks again

Pablo

Hi,

sorry, I have added the link as hyperlink, so your browser tried to do http instead of ftp.

Try:

ftp.chemie.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/tools

And no, it is not a bug, just an old Turbomole version on new Linux systems. Unfortunately the Linux community decided to change the default behavior of the simple 'echo' command. While in former times a 'echo "same \c"; echo "line" ' wrote the two strings in one line, nowadays one has to call such an echo with the option -e ... RedHat was to first to change that some time ago and meanwhile all other distributions followed.

Meanwhile the whole convergence check is done differently in Turbomole 5.9, so that is not an issue any more.

Regards,

Uwe
