Hi,
You are right "fftw3.f" doesn't have to be in FFTXLib folder because QE
doesn't provide it. And I think, you have already downloaded the
fftw-3.3.4 package. Now you can try to compile it, follow these steps one
by one
(1) Go to fftw-3.3.4 folder
(2) Let's say, you want to install the libraries in "/home/vipin/fftw"
using GCC compilers, then run (its a single command)

./configure --prefix="/home/vipin/fftw" --enable-shared --enable-threads
--enable-openmp F77=gfortran CC=gcc FFLAGS=-O3 CFLAGS=-O3

(3) If above step finishes with out error then run these two commands

make all
make install

(4) If everything goes fine you will have your "fftw3.f" file in
"/home/vipin/fftw/include" folder. You will also have to update the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Add the following line into your bashrc (a hidden file in
your home folder, it can be listed using "ls -a" command)

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/vipin/fftw":${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

And run the following command

. ~/.bashrc

(5) Now go to your QE directory and follow the steps outlined in my last
email.
