[Pw_forum] calculating frequencies in Co3O4 causing a segmentation fault

Dear Dr. Nguyën
Hello,
The tetrahedron method for the DFPT calculation does not work together with the old XML I/O (Sorry!).
Please build QE 6.1 with activating new XML routines. i.e.,
$ ./configure --enable-xml
$ make pw ph
The tetrahedron method has no advantage in the single-k electronic structure calculation.
I did not check the situation of DFPT + tetrahedron + single-k, and I found NaN (Bug?) during the reproduction of your calculation (together with the new XML).

So, please use the smearing method for the single-k calculation.

dear Dr. Huu Chuong Nguyën (Bob)
plz set ldisp=.true in ph.x code and gamma point should be changed some value by other point
prefix = 'PAWlocal_Co3O4_mag_revPBE450_323' ,
fildyn = 'Co3O4.dynG' ,
trans = .true.,
ldisp=.true,
amass(1) = 15.99990,
amass(2) = 15.99990,
amass(3) = 58.93320,
amass(4) = 58.93320,
nq1=1,

Which is the worst kind of error, the segmentation fault. Does anyone has a clue on what could cause such error? Maybe something terribly wrong in my input that I missed?
