[QE-users] Error in routine latgen (13): wrong celldm(3)

Dear Paolo,
Thanks a lot.
I verified with our HPC management and effectively there was a mismatch
between the versions of pw.x and ph.x.
Now it runs properly.

On the other hand I would need a clarification on how the input of
coordinates with crystal_sg works.
My space group is 15. I've the coordinates of the not equivalent atoms from
a cif experimental file.
Those Wyckoff positions are referred to the non-primitive conventional cell
with 48 atoms.
I noticed that if I use those positions in the input the coordinates are
transformed. I imagnine that pw.x automatically understands that those are
referred to the conventional cell and transforms them in the equivalent
positions in the primitive (24-atoms) cell.
Is this correct?
Or should I transform manually the coordinates referring them to the
primitive monoclinic axes?

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Mauro Sgroi.
