[Q-e-developers] problem in cppp.x executable

[Devendra Kumar Dubey]

Dear QE Developers,

I am getting an error while post processing using cppp.x


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     from  cppp  : error #         1
      Cannot open file /scratch/......mypath...../cp_51.save/data-file.xml
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


So I searched in the QE forum about this and found out that Paolo has already given a solution for this in the following post 

http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/pw_forum/2008-May/009022.html

where he provides a modified version of fpmdpp.f90 file.

I noticed that this was posted in May 2008. Currently I am using the version 4.2.1, which is installed on a computational cluster and unfortunately I do not have permissions there to edit files.

Before I go ahead and request the computational resource team to recompile espresso with modified code, I thought it would be better to confirm with espresso developers about this issue. Is this bug already fixed in the newer version? or am I getting this error due to some other reasons.

Thank you for your time and attention,
