Thank you  Dr Stefano,
It is the first time I encounter the error when I execute q2r.x in
particular for Rhombohedral structure which I am doing for the first
time.
I didn't have any problem with other systems (cubic/fcc) I have calculated so far.

Whenever I supplied any value for celldim(3) for Rhombohedral (ibrav=5)
I always get the following when I execute kpoint.x for 2x2x2, 
========================
     4
     1   0.0000000  0.0000000  0.0000000   1.00
     2   0.3535534 -0.2041241  0.2886751   3.00
     3   0.3535534  0.2041241  0.5773503   3.00
     4   0.0000000  0.0000000  0.8660254   1.00
===========================================
These are the set of values I used as q-vectors in the calculation of
phonons.
May be my input file is wrong. I have no idea
