[Pw_forum] dfti error in cg minimization (cp.x)

Dear all,

I am trying to use 'cg' for electronic minimization in cp.x (version 
5.4.0). I have these in the &electrons section of my input file:

> electron_dynamics = 'cg'
> tcg                             = .TRUE.
> orthogonalization   = 'Gram-Schmidt'
> passop                      = 0.1

However, the program dies after saying "PERFORMING CONJUGATE GRADIENT 
MINIMIZATION OF EL. STATES" with the following error message:

> Error in routine  cft_1z (5):
>     stopped in DftiComputeBackward

I am using QE compiled with the FFT module of Intel MKL. However, I 
tried with FFTW3 and my calculation died, similarly with the following 
error:

> *** Error in

and with the internal FFT engine, which died complaining:

I couldn't find any relevant information in the group, and would 
appreciate any help.
