[Pw_forum] Error in phonon calculation

[Eyvaz Isaev]

Dear Ali,

Possible reasons:
1. Compiler error - it seems, such kind error often happens with gfortran
2. Network problem
3. Corrupted data - try again.


I do not think the error is caused by your input file. Nevertheless, you can try 
also the option ldisp=.true. with nq1=N1,nq2=N2,nq3=N3 and start_q=1, last_q=1 
to calculate phonons at the Gamma point.  Just to note, 10^{-18} looks VERY 
strong (and time consumable) criteria for phonon convergence threshold. The 
default value thr2_ph=10^{-12}.  


Bests,
Eyvaz.

Dear QE users,

When I want to calculate phonons for a q-point, I get this error running ph.x;

Do u have any idea about it?
