as mentioned several times, QHA is unfortunately unmaintained, and will
stay so until somebody who uses it starts to take care of it. Will you?

Whenever an error occurs, the first step is invariably to locate where 
the first error occurs; then, figure out why it occurs; then, how to
prevent it from occurring. Had you done that, you would have noticed
that the first error arises when code "Partial_phonon_DO" (actually
Partial_phonon_DOS.x, the last 3 characters are truncated) reads file
"matdyn.modes", and it looks like a format problem. In fact it is
sufficient to change line 44 of file Partial_phonon_DOS.f from
        read(9,'(11X, I2, 3X,F15.6,8X,f15.6,8X)') nmode,omega_THz,
omega_cm
to
        read(9,'(11X, I5, 3X,F15.6,8X,f15.6,8X)') nmode,omega_THz,
omega_cm
and recompile. Unfortunately the way QHA is written makes it very 
easily broken by any change in file formats.

Don't count of me for more QHA problems, though.
