[Pw_forum] error in Wyckoff positions

Hi,

let me just notice that if the number of inequivalent atoms is just what you show, nat should be set to 1

see Doc/INPUT_PW.txt :
   +--------------------------------------------------------------------
   Variable:       nat

   Type:           INTEGER
   Status:         REQUIRED
   Description:    number of atoms in the unit cell (ALL atoms, except if
                   space_group is set, in which case, INEQUIVALENT atoms)
   +--------------------------------------------------------------------


With this correction and, in addition, by removing both  ibrav (not compatible with space_group specification)
and CELL_PARAMETERS card by specifying a, b and c variable, it runs.

Giovanni
