<font color="purple">What is causing a segmentation violation in DECOSF 4.0?</font>
<p>
The <tt>-automatic</tt> Fortran compiler option is causing this problem under DECOSF 4.0 using version 5.2 of the f77 compiler. To get a working executable,
you need to edit <tt>$NWCHEM_TOP/src/config/makefile.h</tt> at line <tt>1051</tt>. The modified line 1051 must therefore be
<p><tt>FOPTIONS = -i8 -align dcommons -math_library fast -fpe2 -check
nounderflow \</tt>
<br><tt>-check nopower -check nooverflow -warn argument_checking
-warn unused #-automatic</tt>

<font color="purple">What is causing the <tt>ma_init failed</tt> error message?</font>
<p>
If NWChem crashes with the error message
<pre>
MA error: MA_init: could not allocate XXXXXXXXX bytes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
nwchem.F: ma_init failed (ga_uses_ma=T) 911
</pre>
this is most likely due to the act the default <tt>datasize</tt> on DECOSF is too small
(131072 kbytes). To increase this value under csh, please type
<pre>
limit datasize unlimited
</pre>

<font color="purple">How to fix the segfault in single node runs on
HP AlphaServer SC 2.5?</font>
<p>
To fix NWChem crashes with a segfault early on with a segfault in single
node runs, please add the following environmental variable to your settings:
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>
setenv SHMEM_SMP_ENABLE 0
</pre>
