You can specify a machinefile in your Orca input by placing a file called MyInp.nodes in the orca execution directory. In your case, it might be useful to play a little scripting magic to copy the one created by SLURM and remove the instances of the node being used by NAMD. You could hard-code the machinefile if you're on a smaller cluster and know which nodes you'll be assigned.

This is assuming that node allocation is the source of your error. What you pasted in is a generic "Orca crashed" message. The cause of the crash is usually found immediately above that message.

Subject: namd-l: ORCA NAMD Parallel

I am trying to use PAL8 in my qmConfigLine for ORCA QMMM, but get in my ORCA output :

-------------------------------------------------------
Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code.. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.
-------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

  Process name: [[51120,1],0]
  Exit code: 127
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[file orca_main/gtoint.cpp, line 137]: ORCA finished by error termination in ORCA_GTOInt

Is this probably due to ORCA and NAMD fighting for the same threads? I haven't figured out how, yet, to tell ORCA which nodes are available. We use SLURM.
