[Pw_forum] GIAPW LSF problem?

Dear PWSCF users

I have compiled QE4.0cvs2 on SGI Altix with 128 Itanium2 CPU running 
Linux. MPI is used. Job need to be submitted to the cluster via LSF, and 
the cluster also provides 8 CPU for testing jobs without LSF.

I can run the examples coming with the package when I use the -in tag to 
read input files during LSF submission. However, I can not use the 
method to run the GIPAW example. The error message I get is like this 
when I tried to calculate NMR with gipaw.x:

from LSF:
> MPI: --------stack traceback-------
> line: 2 Unable to parse input as legal command or C expression.
> The "backtrace" command has failed because there is no running program.
> MPI: Intel(R) Debugger for applications running on IA-64, Version 
> 10.1-32 , Build 20070829
>
> MPI: -----stack traceback ends-----
> MPI: MPI_COMM_WORLD rank 0 has terminated without calling MPI_Finalize()
> MPI: aborting job
from gipaw:
>  from gipaw_readin : error #         1
>      reading inputgipaw namelist
So, the gipaw.x does not read the input file.

To make sure I have the correct input file, I run the job locally 
without LSF and I successfully got the NMR result.

Is there something I need to specify when I make gipaw.x, so that it can 
read the input file with -in tag?

Or this is a problem purely related to LSF?

Thanks in advance!
