I am afraid I can't help you there. But did you try the VASP forum? It' seems to be quite active for installation problems. Maybe you will get more answer than here.

fpp is the Fortran preprocessor, a program that handles certain kinds of instructions in the code (called preprocessor directives) before the code is passed to the main compiler. It appears that either fpp is not installed on your system or it is not in your PATH. If you think it should be installed or if you are not sure, you should speak with whoever runs your computer system.

I don't think that gfortran comes with a Fortran preprocessor, but usually it is OK to use cpp (the C preprocessor) on Fortran code, and in fact this was the default in the VASP Makefile until very recently.

You might also consider using the Intel Fortran compiler (free for non-commercial use), as it usually outperforms the gcc one (unlike in C++ where the results are mixed).

You can still use the C preprocessor, try commenting out the line

CPP_=fpp -f_com=no -free -w0 $*.F $*$(SUFFIX)

in your makefile and that might help. Also, I agree with Hunter that the Intel Fortran compiler is probably the best way to go.

Problem solved. 

i m sorry for late reply. 

I have used Ifort to resolve it. 

Dear All, I am learning VASP installation, I have some queries.

I went through VASP manual there I read Γ-point only VASP  and normal VASP installation. What is the differene between them and how do we check any installed VASP is normal installed or Γ-point only installed.

Actually in our cluster engineer installed VASP in parallel. Now I need again recompilation with VTST utilities. We have Intel ifort compiler.

I believe the gamma point only version will only run if you have specified sampling only the gamma point.  I think it will give an error if you try to run it with any k-points other than the gamma point.  If there is only one version installed on your cluster, it is most likely not the gamma point only version.

There are some good resources available online regarding compiling VASP.  Two of my favorite are Peter Larsson's blog (first link) and the Intel guide (second link).

Compiling VASP with VTST is also pretty straightforward once you have compiled a working version of VASP.  There are good instructions at Prof. Henkelman's website (third link) and he is usually pretty quick to respond to questions in the forum (fourth link).

I hope that is enough information to get you VASPing.

Best,

Thank You Dear Dr. Michael T Garvey for useful information about VASP installation. If I will face any problem and any other query I will ask you.

Hello all,

I am new to vasp and trying to run a calculation but however getting an error.

ERROR: non collinear calculations require that VASP is compiled

without the flag -DNGXhalf and -DNGZhalf

Can anyone give suggestions? Thank you in advance.
