Gaussian crashes when $GAUSS_SCRDIR is set to /tmp in Discovery

Did you mkdir the /tmp/farina.d/autotst/ folder?
The No such file or directory is what's making me ask.

[davidfarinajr]

hmm. I thought I did, but its very possible I forgot to. I'm just running it in /scratch right now. When I submit more jobs, I'll make sure to make the /tmp/farina.d/autotst/ folder and see if that fixes the issue

Bumping this, because I think on Comet it's probably also important to do as much as possible on the compute node's local drive rather than the networked file system. If this is no longer a problem then I guess this issue can be closed.

Have you solved the problem yet？

Hey folks, how did you solve it? I am having the same issue!

Hey after $GAUSS_SCRDIR "add the directory here" where you are storing the .gjf file and you are good to go!

worked for me.
