Dear Ivan,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
The KINDS variable sets is for the MPICH threading specific to our system
architecture.

I face problem running most of the examples in parallel and some of the
examples in serial mode, provided with the smeagol distribution.  As I am a
beginner, I haven't tested my own systems . First I am  trying to run the
examples correctly, to learn the  parameter settings and all in detail.
Unforutnately even the examples, which were already tested successfully by
the developers, I am not able to run in my system. I will list out my
experience in running all examples in serial and parallel mode.
----------------------------------------------------------------
SERIAL RUNS
------------------------------------------------------------------
Successful Runs:   Fe, SiH, MgO, H2O, H2O (order N) , Au leads calculation
in the gamma directory, leads in the kpoints directory
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed Cases: Capacitor and Infinite calculations in the kpoints directory,
Au wire calculation in the gamma directory
The error is: program stops at the same point for all runs, at memory
allocation, and not proceeding at all .
