[Pw_forum] Error message from NEB calculation

[Axel Kohlmeyer]

hi paolo,

how about changing the error message that spells out in detail
what to do and also generate a URL that directly points to the
troubleshooting part of the documentation on quantum-espresso.org
and/or to start a web search, e.g., on google with querying for
"cdiaghg error site:pwscf.org"?

i'm "in transit" at the moment, but give me a couple of days and
i could generate a patch of that kind, so that perhaps 50% of the
people will try looking at the archives or the docs before asking here.
the fact that the error message looks a bit cryptic (also to me initially),
may be the reason that people tend to have this knee-jerk reaction
to directly post to the mailing list (for some i assume even dispite
knowing better or being told so before...).

other than that i can only encourage people that have had this kind
of problem before and got told the same stuff to respond first and thus
keep you from having to go over the same question again and again
and .... ;-)

this forum has improved a lot over the last years (in terms of topics
and the number of people answering) and is (to me at least) becoming
increasingly interesting to follow, and it would be a big help if
people with less experience, could handle the "simple" questions.

ciao,
   axel.
