[Pw_forum] error when running bands.x

I just installed espresso.5.0.2 along with its patch on my mac (single node 6-core installed with openmp option)
When running the tests, in example01, which is the band structure of silicon, I encountered the following problem:

This example shows how to use pw.x and postprocessing codes to make a
contour plot in the [110] plane of the charge density for Si, and to
plot the band structure of Si.

Any idea what might be wrong?
