[Pw_forum] Help XSPectra calculation

Dear Suman Dhayal,

   fro; the output of your script it seems to me that you are not running
at all the XSpectra example but the general QE example.
And the segmentation fault that you find has little do to with xspectrq
but this is connected with the bands.x file.

The XSpectra examples are in another directory.
