Able to make VPS with adpack (no segmentation fault) Date: 2021/09/23 22:53 Name: Malone I have bumped across this problem: http://www.openmx-square.org/forum/patio.cgi?mode=view&no=2222 (tl;dr: adpack crashes at the `MBK()' function call with SIGSEGV, segmentation fault, after the "**** Energies of atom ****" calculation) If this ever happens with anyone, the solution is to set greater allowed program stack depth, for example infinite: $ ulimit -s unlimited then you may call adpack and it won't fail to this specific problem. The essence of the problem lies in the fact that the `MBK()' function eats too much stack for its initial set-up and may fail under some standard settings. I had encountered this behaviour with fresh Ubuntu. Please note: (from `man ulimit') APPLICATION USAGE Since ulimit affects the current shell execution environment, it is always provided as a shell regular built-in. If it is called in a separate utility execution environment, such as one of the following: nohup ulimit -f 10000 env ulimit 10000 it does not affect the file size limit of the caller's environment. This means that ulimit should be called whenever a new shell was spawned to run adpack.
