  Thank you Dr. Stefano. I will try it again.
  But (ibrav=5) always ask for celldim(3)  NOT celldim(4).
  I will try celldim(4) instead celldim(3) by ignoring celldim(3) it
  asks for.
  Thanks.

It doesn't matter any value one supplies as  celldim(3) or
celldim(4), these sets of values are always produced for 2 2 2
