[molpro-user] weird issue with MOLPRO 2010.1 binaries

Has a solution been found for this problem? I encounter something very similar
with SGE. We compiled molpro2009 and now installed the binary of molpro2010,
but both versions give the following error message when trying to run via SGE:

forrtl: severe (64): input conversion error, unit -5, file Internal Formatted
Read

It works when running interactively on the same node with the same command as
used in the job. Setting "setenv RSHCOMMAND /usr/bin/ssh" and "setenv TCGRSH
/usr/bin/ssh" in .cshrc or in the job script does not make a difference. This
should anyway not be the problem, as I can rsh between nodes.

Best wishes,

Tanja
