i know this issuehas been addressed and documented in troubleshooting
section of the users guide.
but i giveup in despair trying for a whole day to figure this problem
i run my jobs on rocks cluster by using SGE's facility of submitting batch
jobs
http://www.rocksclusters.org/roll-documentation/sge/5.2/submitting-batch-jobs.html

what i 'apparently' observe(or doubtfully infer) is that i can successfully
run a single parallel job, but on submitting a second job i get the error
____________________________________________
/home3/colonel/espresso-4.0.5/bin/pw.x: error while loading shared
libraries: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
____________________________________________


i find out the path for the library and added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH by
writing
_______________________________________
#set the library path to include gfortran libraries
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib64:/usr/lib


$ECHO
$ECHO "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
$ECHO

in the file which acts as script for qsub ($qsub -pe orte 4 dosroutine.qsub)
which is

dosroutine.qsub
