I am trying to convert a POSCAR file to a Gaussian .gjf file using Open
Babel on Windows 8.1. When I attempt the conversion in the GUI, the output
message box says "0 molecules converted" and a blank .gjf output file is
created. I tried to run the conversion using the command line by typing:
C:\Users\Cameron>babel -iPOSCAR 'C:\Users\Cameron\Desktop\11kpts\POSCAR'
-ogjf 'C:\Users\Cameron\Desktop\POSCAR.gjf'
I receive the following error:
*** Open Babel Error in OpenBabel::OBConversion::FullConvert
Cannot write to 'C:\Users\Cameron\Desktop\11kpts\POSCAR.gjf'
0 molecules converted
1 errors
Is this an issue with my command statement, my installation of OpenBabel,
or something else? Do I need to run the conversion as an administrator on
my PC?
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I did not find it in the archives.
Thanks for your help.
