LCDM_gas simulation aborts in initialization

Am trying to run the lcdm_gas simualtion. Runs aborts in initialization with
messages:
"reading file '../ICs/lcdm_gas_littleendian.dat on task=0 (contains 65536
particles.)
distributing this file to tasks 0-0
 ... (then follows listing of types 0-5 particles) ...

I/O error (fread) on task=0 has occured: no such file or directory
task 0: endrun called with an error level of 778

[0] MPI Abort by user Aborting program !
[0] Aborting program!
p0_11987: p4_error: :778 "


Using gdb, problem seems to occur when read_file() in read_ic.c issues
my_fread(CommBuffer, ...) at line 485 and my_fread() in io.c issues and fread()
and gets nread=1 instead of nmemb=32768 and treats this as I/O error and calls
endrun.

This seems questionable since an EOF can result in a short read (unless nmemb
data had previously been written to file.)

Am running on a single processor (for this run) on an AMD Athlon and Centos 4.1
(Linux) OS. Not using mpirun though mpich is configured and loaded. Using
lcdm_gas_littleendian.dat and lcdm_gas.param files (supplied w/download.)

Have previously run the collisionless galaxy simulations on both single and
multiple processors. But that doesn't use SPH which uses the CommBuffer.

Should I just skip my_fread() and use fread() in initialization code for
CommBuffer? Info fread doesn't seem to distinguish between IO error and EOF
conditions, so is there some way to tell if actual I/O error?

Thanks,
