The CASPT2 calculation reported an error [rc =2 ]

Dear Molcas developers,

After installing the parallel version of OpenMolcas v19.11 on a new server, I encountered an issue during testing. Specifically, there was an error in the CASPT2 module of a single-point calculation, and the error message indicated rc=2. I am unsure about the cause of this issue as there are no problems with the input files. I suspect that it might be related to missing parameters during submission in the sbatch job system. Could you please provide guidance on this matter?

Re: The CASPT2 calculation reported an error [rc =2 ]

I seem to know where the problem originates; perhaps it's related to my software compilation. Currently, I am using the Intel compiler with above error. After recompiling with OpenMPI, OpenBLAS, and GA, I am able to successfully run CASPT2 parallel computations.
