[Pw_forum] Why the POSITION card ignored in my NEB calculation

Dear QE users,


I learn to use neb.x to calculate minimum energy path for CO on Fe(100), but the run ignored BEGIN_POSITIONS and stopped with the following error message. Please tell me what should I do to remove this error.

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 6 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD 
with errorcode 1.


NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.
