Hi,

When I run the nebmovie.pl script I get the following message:

Using POSCARs to generate movie

sh: /export4/work/ht409/vtst/pos2con.pl: Permission denied
sh: /export4/work/ht409/vtst/con2xyz.pl: Permission denied
sh: /export4/work/ht409/vtst/pos2con.pl: Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `POSCAR_TMP': No such file or directory

I would appreciate any help!!!
Thanks,
Alexandra

Is it possible that you do not have execute permissions for the perl scripts? Additionally if you ran the command "/usr/bin/env perl -v" does perl print out it version information?

Another check: did you download all the scripts into your vtst directory?

Dear Chill and Graeme,

I am using the other VTST scripts like nebmake.pl and nebbarrier.pl without any problems and I do have all the scripts in the same directory. Also when I run /usr/bin/env perl -v I get the version details: "This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi" etc... Confusing huh?!

What about write permission in the NEB directory? I assume these are your files, but if you were not allowed to write the output files for some reason, this could explain the permission problem.
