<DIV>Dear Alhassan</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many errors are self-explanatory. Yours means that the code does not find 
the folder pwscf.save. You have set outdir=/home/alhas/Alhas/espresso-4.3.2/bin 
as folder for temporary files (which, by the way, is not a good option, since 
the files in $outdir may be eventually erased): make sure that this is right. 
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In addition, it seems to me that you have not set the “prefix” variable 
somewhere in your pw.x input scripts. In such a case, pp.x looks for the default 
value, which is “pwscf”, and not for “Bi2Te2SeFR”, as in the examples you have 
pasted. Please, check this issue as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck.</DIV>

<DIV>Dear All<BR></DIV>Recently  i did both scf,nscf,dos,pdos of both 
trigonal (with five atoms in primitive cell) and hexagonal(with fifteen atoms in 
conventional cell) structures of ternary tetradymite Bi2Te2S and Bi2Te2Se with 
the atomic coordinates taking from  <A 
href="http://materials.duke.edu/awrapper.html" 
target=_blank>http://materials.duke.edu/awrapper.html</A> and got results 
similar with some literatures.But anytime i try to perform the "POST PROCESSING 
CALCULATIONS" with pp.x i got this error [ Program POST-PROC v.4.3.2
