Error loading AMS

Dear HPC team,

Username: herrena
Cluster: Bamboo

I am not able to load AMS when I type:

module load AMS/2023.105-intelmpi

I get this error:

These module(s) or extension(s) exist but cannot be loaded as requested: "AMS/2023.105-intelmpi"

Thank you in advance for your help,

Regards,
Anais

Hi Anais,

If it’s not quite right, you get this error:

(bamboo)-[alberta@login1 ~]$ module load AMS/2023.105-intelmpi
Lmod has detected the following error:  These module(s) or extension(s) exist but cannot be loaded as requested: "AMS/2023.105-intelmpi"
   Try: "module spider AMS/2023.105-intelmpi" to see how to load the module(s).

The most important clue is this sentence:

Try: "module spider AMS/2023.105-intelmpi" to see how to load the module(s).

So let cluedo it:

(bamboo)-[alberta@login1 ~]$ module spider AMS/2023.105-intelmpi

    Description:
      The Amsterdam Modeling Suite (AMS) provides a comprehensive set of modules for computational chemistry and materials science, from quantum mechanics to fluid thermodynamics. 


    You will need to load all module(s) on any one of the lines below before the "AMS/2023.105-intelmpi" module is available to load.

      intel-compilers/2022.2.1  impi/2021.7.1

here the next clue:

    You will need to load all module(s) on any one of the lines below before the "AMS/2023.105-intelmpi" module is available to load.

      intel-compilers/2022.2.1  impi/2021.7.1

So let cluedot it:

(bamboo)-[alberta@login1 ~]$ ml intel-compilers/2022.2.1  impi/2021.7.1 !$
ml intel-compilers/2022.2.1  impi/2021.7.1 AMS/2023.105-intelmpi
These environment variables need to be defined before using AMS:
  * $SCMLICENSE: path to AMS license file
  * $SCM_TMPDIR: path to user scratch directory

I recommend you read the entire output, it sometimes helps :wink:

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Oups I did it again… :notes:
