Created attachment 504498 [details] emerge --info lammps When the 'examples' USE flag is set, the ./examples directory is installed into /usr/share/lammps/. But in order to run (at least some of) these examples, you also need the data from the ./bench directory. Ideally, /usr/share/lammps would contain the examples and bench subdirectories. As an example of the problem, if you look at /usr/share/lammps/examples/accelerate/in.rhodo, you can see a line saying: 'read_data ../../bench/data.rhodo' But that file doesn't exist. Steps to reproduce: 1. env USE=examples emerge =sci-physics/lammps-20170109 2. emerge app-portage/gentoolkit 3. equery f =sci-physics/lammps-20170109|grep 'rhodo' You won't see a file 'data.rhodo'.
I committed lammps-20170901-r1 to tree to include the bench directory. Please try it out!
If this issue persists with recent versions of lammps please open another ticket.
