[Pw_forum] bands.x help

[nuri oncel]

Dear All,
Here is my problem. I can calculate the silicon band structure example given in the tutorials (one of pwscf examples) by using my desktop computer with no problem. However when I use the cluster in the campus, I can not get the bands.x run properly. It always gives the following error message in the bands.out file. (see below) I changed it to &bands and run it again. The output file looks the same. I look through the bands.f90 file and the error originates from a subroutine mp_bcast. The variable ios (I have no idea what it actually corresponds) has to be zero to avoid error message, if I read this correctly. 
By the way a similar program dos.x works very well in the same cluster. 
Thanks
