Dear Matteo,

Thank you for the quick response. Hmmmm, I want to run the XSpectra example
which I did once but it did not run and aborted in between. So I went back
to example01 as xspectra uses the output of 'pw.x' and 'gipaw.x'. So I got
back to example01 and looked into the output files and I found that it's not
run completely. The output files for Si are completely run but not for the
Al, it stops in between only with the error message that I have posted here
in the previous email. So the error message that I posted is from running
example01 and not xspectra. And I have no idea, what may be wrong. So it
would be very helpful if I could be guided a little over it.

Thanks a lot,

Harli
