Hi Anastasia,

(it seems there was an issue with the mailing list and the mails only were relayed now. Unfortunately this seem to more often with the PSI mailing lists).

It seems to me something else than the permissions was wrong, perhaps the file format. Can you send me your input files, and I'll have a look.

Best wishes,

Jochem

Subject: [Opal] Issues with FROMFILE Distribution using Optimizer

 

Hi OPAL-ers,

 

I have downloaded the latest version of OPAL, OPAL 2.2.1 and have tried to run a simple optimization problem on an input file that uses a distribution of file type.

 

I have run into the error that states that a user-defined error was encountered and that the distribution file could not be opened “Open file operation failed”. I have changed all of the permission on the file to allow for the file to be opened, read, and executed, but I was still getting the same error.

 

I have since changed the distribution to a simple FLATTOP to see if everything else is working smoothly, and it is working just fine now. Is there any reason as to why the distribution file could not be read?

 

I have run a basic input file with the same input parameters and distribution file and it was working fine before.

 

Thanks,

 

Anastasia
