Execution bug report

[Trwang9201]

Hi, guys

Here are some issues reported which I try to run the example (VASP version).

Input files: all the example file you supplied except
[solver]
type = 'vasp'
path = '/usr/bin/vasp_std'
base_input_dir = '/home/wangtairan/download/abICS-master/examples/standard/spinel/baseinput'
perturb = 0.1

Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "_mt19937.pyx", line 178, in numpy.random._mt19937.MT19937._legacy_seeding
TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/abics", line 11, in
sys.exit(main())

TypeError: Cannot cast array from dtype('float64') to dtype('int64') according to the rule 'safe'

Thank you guys!

Hi! Thank you for the report!
We had fixed this in the development branches but hadn't merged it.
We merged a fix into the release-v1.0 branch so please have a try.
https://github.com/issp-center-dev/abICS/tree/release-v1.0

A workaround on the old version (master branch) is to specify a random number seed. For example:
[replica]
seed=12345

Also, the VASP version won't run correctly without a patch to VASP (we're asking VASP folks if we can distribute it). In the meanwhile, maybe you can try out the QE version?
