[QE-developers] problem in running lambda.x for the calculation of Tc

Dear Sir,

I am using quantum espresso for superconductivity Tc calculation. I put
this question last week in the QE users forum (
users at lists.quantum-espresso.org), but I did not get any response.
Therefore I am writing this mail here as I have been getting this trouble
for a long time.

I was trying to calculate the superconducting transition temperature of Pb
and Al given as trial example in the phonon calculation of QE. all the
steps are running successfully. only the last step is giving "NaN" (not a
number).

I am requesting to kindly suggest to me what I should do and why this error
is coming.

I am sending  both the input and output data for lambda.x calculation. The
tutorial file which I was following is also attached here.
