Dear All,

I'm trying to adopt the working SiH4-example for phonon calculations 
(http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~giannozz/QE-Tutorial/tutorial_advph.html) 
to my molecular crystal.

phcg.x crashes with

ERROR: 0031-250  task 0: Segmentation fault

using differing compiled versions of QE (with and without 
essl/lapack-combinations)...

The input file is:
-----------------------------------
Normal modes for SiH4
  &inputph
   tr2_ph=1.0d-14,
   prefix='i2t0480.xyz.42.168',
   outdir='/gpfs/home/aasfu/tmp/i2t0480.xyz.42.168/',
  amass(1)=30.973762,
  amass(2)=15.9994,
  amass(3)=14.00679,
  amass(4)=12.011,
  amass(5)=1.00794,
   epsil=.true.,
   trans=.true.,
   asr=.true.

are the files needed as input by phcg.x?).

The output file finished abruptly after:

Any ideas what's wrong?
I gave the calculation 12GB of memory for 196 atoms - this should be 
enough, shoudn't it be?

Thanks,
