[Pw_forum] Phonon calculations for functionalized frequencies.

You are probably using occupations=smearing in your pw.x calculations.  
If I remember well, the ph.x code stops and complains because it is  
not able to perform IR and Raman calculations on what could be a  
"metal", even it is not necessarily a real metal. Use  
occupations=fixed, instead.
