It has until now always worked. However I have just moved it to a new install of Ubuntu 9.04, and it falls over straight away in l1.exe with:- Erroneous write during file extend Write -1 instead of 4096 Probably out of disk space It is trying to create the rwf file. I have changed the $GAUSS_SCRDIR. I have tried using named rwf file as well as the default. It does not therefore seem to be a permissions problem. It is not of course actually running out of disk space. It worked on an earlier Ubuntu version. I have googled and found a lot of hits but they all seem to be about later fails that probably are due to being out of disk space. Has anyone come across this before or have any ideas? Unfortunately I no longer have access to the Portland compiler to try a new compile. Any ideas would be most welcome.
