If I run:

mpiexec -np 16 /home/mirix/Downloads/firefly/firefly_71g_linux_mpich2_p4/firefly -i complex.inp -o output.out /disk/scratch/pcgamess /tmp/pcgamess

The program does not run and I obtain:

FATAL ERROR INITIALIZING FIREFLY! CHECK YOUR COMMAND LINE OPTIONS!

ON MASTER NODE, ERROR CODE IS : 0x00000004
   Unable to create output file

If I remove the "-o output.out" option, the program runs, but the end of the output file reads:
