Running DFT error message

[hk123]

I recently installed PSI4(1.3.2) on Linux on my computer(AMD CPU & AMD GPU). While I do not have any problem with ab initio calculation, I encounter problem with running DFT.
I created a input file

 #! DFT
molecule h2o {
He
}
set basis cc-pVDZ
energy('b3lyp')

And I get error looks like this

(base) %%%%%desktop:~/Desktop/Calculation$ psi4

Above input works for hf by swapping to ‘scf’. Am I missing something here? Thank you very much for your help.

First, I added backticks to your post. In future, please enclose all code-snippets in triple backticks (```), so that the forum knows to render them as code.

Your input file should work with no problems. How did you install Psi onto your computer? Did you use a pre-built installer? A conda package? Did you build it from source yourself?

[hk123]

Thank you for the reply. I installed psi4 through the official Ubuntu apt repositories.

[hokru]

The PSI4 team does not maintain the ubuntu packages, but check maybe check if the python versions are compatible.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/psi4 tells python2.7 was used to build it, but your error message shows python 3.7. That won’t work well together.

Best to install psi4 through the official installer (aka conda binaries). Then you also get a fast BLAS library.

[jmisiewicz]

The version of Psi4 available on Xenial is much earlier than 1.3.2, so I imagine that isn’t the version he’s using. focal or groovy are more likely.

Obligatory @loriab ping, since a build issue is the only cause of this bug that I can imagine. She may have seen this before.

[hk123]

Thank you very much for all reply. I tried several binary installation from http://psicode.org/ and my setup worked with the instruction in download. The DFT code above worked. I wish I can buy you all a beer.

You’re welcome!

I’m going to mark this hokru’s post as solving the issue. In future, you can do that yourself by clicking on the checkbox in the bottom-right of each post.
