[Pw_forum] Input ibrav not compatible with space group number

Dear QE Friends:

I encounter a problem with the space_group option. A part of my QE input is
attached at the end of this message.

The crystal I am working on has symmetry "C 1 2/c 1" (as suggested by the
cif file from which I take the structure data).

Suggested by the following two webpages, I set "space_group = 15".
http://www.cryst.ehu.es/cgi-bin/cryst/programs/nph-wp-list?gnum=15&gua=b
http://img.chem.ucl.ac.uk/sgp/large/015ay1.htm

Because the unique axis is along b in my problem,
I take "ibrav = -12" (monoclinic).

Running QE, I got the following error message.

      Error in routine input (1):
      Input ibrav not compatible with space group number

There is not much information about space_group option in QE manual.
Could ould you please point out what is wrong with the input?

Thbak you.
