Error while Executing "Make all" code for Quantum Espresso in Colab

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues executing "Make all" code for Quantum Espresso in Google Colab, primarily due to problems with symbolic links and pre-installed libraries. Despite attempts to install various versions of Quantum Espresso, persistent errors occur during the file creation process. The limitations of the Colab virtual machine environment contribute to these challenges, as users have noted similar difficulties with other installations, such as Selenium. Running Quantum Espresso locally or on cloud services like Google Run or Amazon EC2 may provide a more reliable solution. Overall, users are advised to consider alternatives to Colab for better compatibility with Quantum Espresso.

TL;DR Summary
There are some tutorials showing how to install and run Quantum Espresso in both Ubuntu and Google Colab. It seems work fine months ago, now it always show some error and pw.x isn't compiled
Good evening,

Now I start learning Quantum Espresso and I tried to install it on Google Colab, since I already get convenient and its my habit to do all computation in Physics using google Colab. Sometimes I rent cloud gpu if I need bigger RAM and GPU when I have heavy load. You can see the colab here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Ntt-uhYk3yGdtEHfHdP4Crbb_H3jaCCn?usp=sharing

It seems like Google Colab had problem with symbolic link, but it also seems because some libraries already installed. You can see the output error under the Colab's code in the beginning.

Meanwhile in the end, there are so many error when I tried to make file for Quantum Espresso, no matter I tried to install different versions of Quantum Espresso. The error still there.

It's pretty common to run into issues with the Colab virtual machine environment. Just last week I was trying to install Selenium on Colab and it just wouldn't work. Google locks down what you can do. It's likely best to run this locally or run in an instance like Google Run or Amazon EC2.
 
I came across a video regarding the use of AI/ML to work through complex datasets to determine complicated protein structures. It is a promising and beneficial use of AI/ML.

Interesting article about an AI writing scandal at Sports Illustrated: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/opinions/sports-illustrated-ai-controversy-leitch/index.html I hadn't heard about it in real-time, which is probably indicative about how far SI has fallen*. In short, the article discusses how SI was caught using AI and worse fake reporter photos/profiles to write game summaries. Game summaries are the short articles that summarize last night's Phillies game. They are so formulaic that...
