Dear pwscf users,
Now I want to visualize a spinel structure Al2MgO4 (space group: F-3dm; 227)
using XCrySDen. But I can not visualize it rightly. My input files are enclosed
here. Please you help me anlysis it.
=======================================
cat > spinel.scf.in << EOF
&control
calculation='scf'
restart_mode='from_scratch',
tstress = .true.
tprnfor = .true.
prefix='spinel',
pseudo_dir = '$PSEUDO_DIR/',
outdir='$TMP_DIR/'
/
&system
ibrav= 2, celldm(1) =15.2595, nat= 14, ntyp= 3,
ecutwfc =36.0
/
&electrons
conv_thr = 1.0d-8
mixing_beta = 0.7
/

==========================================
However, when I change "ibrav" from 2 to 0, some error information always
appears as following:
========================
invalid number: incomprehensible list input
apparent state: unit 5 (unnamed)
last format: list io
lately reading sequential formatted external IO
