Thank you for the prompt answer!  
The installation was done by the administrator of the server so I’m not sure how cns was compiled, but apparently I can’t run cns manually. The error I get is:

%SETFPEPS increase value of MXFPEPS2 and recompile  
%SETFPEPS error encountered: Could not determine machine epsilon  
(CNS is in mode: SET ABORT=NORMal END)  
WARNING: program encountered a fatal error.  
However, in interactive mode, program execution  
will continue. Proceed at your own risk.  
Program will stop immediately.

I just looked into this forum ([CNS errors before/after recompilation - #23 by garima.tanwar](https://ask.bioexcel.eu/t/cns-errors-before-after-recompilation/54/23)) to try and solve the compilation of cns. I followed the instructions to compile cns again but I get the same error.
