Please guide us to install Vasp 6.4.1 verison.
Thank you.

Dear krishnakumar_singh1,

It seems you are using an old version of the gnu fortran compiler.
In older compiler versions, before 10 the compiler flag -fallow-argument-mismatch does not exist
yet. You can check the compiler version with We would recommend to update the compiler if it is older than 10.
Nevertheless, if you want to stick to this compiler you have to remove the flag -fallow-argument-mismatch from the makefile.include.
This can be done by commenting out the following line in the makefile.include: I hope this is of help.

All the best Jonathan
