[Pw_forum] Fwd: Problem with pp.x calculations

Dear Alhassan

Many errors are self-explanatory. Yours means that the code does not find the folder pwscf.save. You have set outdir=/home/alhas/Alhas/espresso-4.3.2/bin as folder for temporary files (which, by the way, is not a good option, since the files in $outdir may be eventually erased): make sure that this is right. 

In addition, it seems to me that you have not set the “prefix” variable somewhere in your pw.x input scripts. In such a case, pp.x looks for the default value, which is “pwscf”, and not for “Bi2Te2SeFR”, as in the examples you have pasted. Please, check this issue as well.

Hope this helps

Good luck.

Dear All

Recently  i did both scf,nscf,dos,pdos of both trigonal (with five atoms in primitive cell) and hexagonal(with fifteen atoms in conventional cell) structures of ternary tetradymite Bi2Te2S and Bi2Te2Se with the atomic coordinates taking from  http://materials.duke.edu/awrapper.html and got results similar with some literatures.But anytime i try to perform the "POST PROCESSING CALCULATIONS" with pp.x i got this error [ Program POST-PROC v.4.3.2  starts on  1Apr2014 at 23: 9:25
