Make sure the directory exist. Then you should type the appropriate root command. I mean for example "sudo" for Ubuntu system; in front of the quantum espresso command. This should probably solve the problem.<br><br><br>**********************************<br>Bertrand SITAMTZE YOUMBI<br>Department of Physics<br>University of Yaounde I-Cameroon<br>*************************<br><br>--- En date de : <b>Lun 13.9.10, Elie Moujaes <i><elie.moujaes@hotmail.co.uk></i></b> a écrit :<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>De: Elie Moujaes <elie.moujaes@hotmail.co.uk><br>Objet: [Pw_forum] non existent or non writable directory<br>À: pw_forum@pwscf.org<br>Date: Lundi 13 septembre 2010,

Dear all,<br>
<br>
I have a small problem. I was trying to run a scf calculation for my system and I used the same outdir I usually use in my calculations but then after a few seconds the program stopped with an error:<br>
<br>
from outdir: error # 1<br>
/exp/home/caiapo/........./Moujaes-Results/ non existent or non writable<br>
<br>
I made another directory and when I re-ran the calculation i got the same problem (although that new directory is empty).. How can I resolve this?<br>
<br>
<br>
