Hi Manual,
  Your problem was not unnoticed. I would ask a bit of patience. It might usually take a couple of days to solve more
articulated - non physics oriented - problems especially if some of the relevant details are not specified (complete paths etc…)

It would helpful if you could share the input f you share the disk on NFS between the machines?
Does all the machine have the same architecture and
linux version?

/fluka_compiled


Let us know.
best
V.

Has anybody experienced similar execution/compilation problems when running  fluka examples?
Thanks for your help,

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing some problems when executing Fluka that I have been unable to locate.
I intend to run Fluka on different machines, but it sometimes fails and sometimes not.
I have performed this experiments on two ways: the first way is copying to every machine the application already compiled with no library dependences,  and the second one is by copying the source code
and compiling it on every machine. Input file is always the same one, has been obtained from fluka's web and executed with no modifications.
Fluka starts correctly, displaying something like (simplified for readability)
./flutil/rfluka -N0 -M5 input_file.inp
$TARGET_MACHINE = Linux
$FLUPRO = (...) fluka_compiled
$PEMF =  (...) /fluka_compiled/libec_thihecufealw_10t.pemf
Initial seed copied from  (...) fluka_compiled
Running fluka in / (...) /fluka_compiled/fluka_10448
File  (...) /fluka_compiled/sigmapi.bin exists and it is not a link!
File  (...) fluka_compiled/elasct.bin exists and it is not a link!
File  (...) /fluka_compiled/nuclear.bin exists and it is not a link!
File  (...) /fluka_compiled/fluodt.dat exists and it is not a link!
File  (...) /fluka_compiled/neuxsc-ind_260.bin exists and it is not a link!
File  (...) /fluka_compiled/xnloan.dat  exists and it is not a link!
======================= Running FLUKA for cycle # 1 =======================
And now the problem arises:
   -In some cases, the application will continue its execution for the desired five cycles, creating the input_file* error, out, log and fort files.
   -But in other cases, the application immediately stops. No input_file* is  generated and no error message is produced (at least in stdout, stderr, .log, .out or .err files).
The problem happens in the two aforementioned ways of executing Fluka on different resources: copying the executable and copying the source and compiling it on each resource. This makes me think that the problem is not a compilation issue (although I'm not completely sure about this). The input file  is the same in all cases, making me think that it isn't either the problem. So basically I have no clue of what's going on...
What am I exactly doing wrong? Is there any way of locating the problem, debugging or something like that? is there any log where I can search for information?
Thanks very much for your help. Best regards,
Manuel
